We call people who gave their life for their buddies in arms "heros". When we ask for the mighty to give up a little to support the needs of the many, they refuse. Can we call them "cowards"?<br><br>"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few"<br>

But the question today is to ask who is going to stand and<br>
fight a D-day defense of freedom against the mass murdering<br>
fascism that is the U.S. Death Machine Industry and the<br>
corporapist oligarchy of greedy, undeserving silver spoon<br>
elitist blood suckers that it has spawned?<br>
<br>
Just asking....<br>
<br>
Seems to me that if you want to actually honor the soldiers<br>
of D-day, then you should stand and fight the political powers<br>
whose openly stated goal is to destroy all the institutions of<br>
United States government that, like the D-day soldiers, stand<br>
for and protect civil liberty, democracy and freedom. You<br>
should be fighting the political terrorists who are waging<br>
war on our economy and trying to down our nation in a<br>
bathtub of military death machine debts and economic<br>
inequity. Seems you should stand and fight the political<br>
powers that have demoted every soldier in our all volunteer<br>
armed forces to the level of a baby killing, torturing, war criminal<br>
mercenaries. From my view, supporting these atrocities or<br>
allowing them to continue is just being another flag waving<br>
hypocrite coward who is a traitor to all that those D-day<br>
soldiers claimed to be fighting for.<br>
<br>
in peace<br>
