    Did they do? Maybe in service to your politicians but certainly not in service to “the country”

    I dont like valuing people and their deaths like this, but basically any teacher or nurse has done a hundred times more for your country.

      They died in service to their country, most of the teachers and nurses did not. Some of those wars were even just.

        Also I want to add even if you believe that those soldiers were victims of propaganda, they believed they were serving the country. They believed they were serving their fellow man. That counts in my book.

        I lay the blame for why they died at the feet of the men and women responsible for their deployments, not at the feet of those who died believing in something bigger than themselves.
