While I respect the memory of those who served and died, I don't support the final message of this video. The American ideal is one of freedom, at least this is what I gather as it's been the cause trumpeted for just about every war the United States has been in, and not 'shutting the fuck up and doing as your told' or quietly bowing or giving way to living under a dictatorship.
.. Just sayin' that message wasn't on the recruitment posters.
Seventy years ago today.

Re: Seventy years ago today.
I thought it was out of character for you to promote that message. It just irks me when people use the memory of dead servicemen to stifle dissent.Gawdzilla wrote:I posted it for the music.
