                    Agreed, Parnell.  I do not condone arrogant patriotism or militant
                
                nationalism, but I do believe that those who have fought or served in the armed serivices deserve recognition for that service, that many of them served for all the right reasons, even as their government may have, depending on the conflict, acted irresponsibly.

                If people were not patriotic the world would be a much happier place. It's been used to justify so much killing...
