> [@keith4436](#): > > Matter of fact most all the good people have left BF and the forum. you do know you can edit your post right? no need to double post. seems to me you are trying to boost your post count for whatever reason. also it seems you dont have the brain capacity to figure out that memorial day is not something that is celebrated all across the globe. Matter of fact im quite confident its only a US holliday. So you are better off posting this on a US only forum or at least in offtopic TBH. Just imagine everyone making threads like this based on some national holiday… ---

> [@doonwallaby](#): > > So, German WWII (the N-word, for letter version, is apparently bad) veterans and American veterans alike. The nihilism runs deep. Your average Wehrmacht soldier just did his job, like the yanks did. They were not decision makers. They served because it was patriotic duty, and if not, often because they had very little choice in the matter. Yes, even german veterans deserve recognition. Not all of them were monsters, and they should not be remembered as such by default. ---

No not at all its not remotely close to it. But to be saying he’s glorifying it pretty much when we’re all on here for a war game is down right stupid. ---

So when people like to play a game called gta V. we’re all psychopatic evil humans that like to destroy anything that comes near us ?

Good luck to you in the future cause you are going to need a ton. Patriotism? You know many of us aren’t American, right? Secondly this should be in off topic. Thirdly, we got it you’re a vet. Why do you want attention so much? Fourthly, didn’t you people kill so many innocent Vietnamese based on an incident (Tonkin) which was a false flag, it didn’t happen? Fourthly, what freedom? You’re not free. You’re a slave in the US. Yes, you’re free to post on forums, play video games, just stay preoccupied with anything keeping you less interested in important domestic and international issues. Fifthly, Poolshark please send this to off topic. ---

My grandparents on my dad’s side witnessed it full hand in Italy hence why they moved immediately after it. It’s all about 1 persons greed sadly and money look at us Americans it’s sad we can go to the middle east but have no ambition to do anything about north Korea or parts of Africa. ---

keith4436, thank you for your service Brother! I am a disabled US Veteran and would do it again. I enjoyed my job and believed in what I did! I spent 17 years in Combat Search and Rescue Operations with AFSOC & JSOTF2. We rescued people of any nation being terrorized by another, children from war zones, etc. Most of it was never on the news so the whiny people in this forum that sit on their butt and couldn’t even clean a real firearm will never know. YES doonwallaby, Veterans deserve to be recognized by their country. Most countries do not have a volunteer military… people are forced to serve in some with threats made to themselves or against their family. They go to war and do what they have to so they can come home to their families. We cannot control with whom our government decides to go to war with, but we can do our best to fight with honor and return home to our families. So YES, the US, German, Korean, Vietnamese, etc are veterans that deserve recognition by the people of the country that sent them to do a job they may or may not have wanted to do. Nobel83-9, you don’t have patriotism in your country? That is truly sad … your ancestors that fought to make your country what it is deserve some form of recognition. That is not just my opinion, but the opinion of over 200 countries world wide. Happy Memorial day to all Veterans, whatever day it is celebrated in your country!
