Well they did give up their life.
Yes, I feel soldiers, who died fighting for their country, are heros because they saved many lives by defending their country against terrorists, criminal gangs, and unfriendly countries who decided to kill people for selfish reasons.
I don't know what else that would happen to you at war that's going to make you a hero more than that at least for your country and not against the country you're fighting against.
It takes life to make life. We need people to help prevent more from leaving.
Isn't it why the government is working on getting robotics used in war now to prevent human casualties.
Sounds an awful lot like a proxy war with money. Those things cost so much.
Yeah, but from my observations, government invest more in war than in human beings.
Government isn't human beings confirmed.
They want to make more money from wars. They care less about what humans truly want.
Yes, it's the sad reality we live in right now.
Not to disrespect the dead but I don't really think so (but it also depends on the circumstance and what they were fighting for). There has been many battles our country has fought that I disagreed with in the first place. We go sticking our nose in the rest of the world's business and getting our people killed for no good reason. Think of all the families that would still be whole if we didn't send our troops to go fight over some dumb political reason or just because the president at the time felt like flexing his muscles.
You can disagree with the war, but I don’t agree with “punishing” or condemning the average military personnel. They’re just following what they were legally told to do, which was to deploy to combat. Vietnam vets got shit on for decades until they finally got their long awaited respect.
Totally agree with you. They did their bits to have their names engraved in the history books.
Yes, they are to be recognised as hero because they gave their lives for others to live their own. They made the biggest sacrifice.
Yes! We have visited many museums honoring those who have given their lives for others. One deep local story was a barbed wire fence. The soldier put his body over it so his friends could crawl to safety. Of course, the soldier didn't make it. So yes, indeed, they need to be honored if they put their life on the line. They are protecting not only their comrades but their country.
Soldiers like that are the ones with biggest heart. I heard a story about some who had to run through a mine field first to detonate the bombs for others to walk through without being blown to pieces.
