I have cruised through some trending posts today, and if I missed any posts regarding today, Remembrance Day, (Nov. 11th), I apologise. Please move
this to the appropriate thread/forum if required, Mods.
With today being November 11th, I almost feel obligated to voice my opinion on this.
Throughout the last century, there has been countless wars: World War 1, World War 2, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War 1, Gulf War 2, Afghanistan, and several
others.
With this post, I'm not trying to take away the memories of our brothers, sisters, friends and children who fought in those wars. The ones who
returned home, and the ones that didn't.
This is a day when we remember the people we lost serving in those wars.
On our mainstream media, most of us are remembering those who fought in World War 2. That's going to be the main focus of this posting.
I understand that most of you realize that history is written by 'the winner'. The one who reigns glorious on the battlefield. So, I'll assume
that most history books are not entirely accurate. However, to play 'Devil's Advocate', I'll assume that what I was taught in school and in
books, is 100% accurate.
One thing we can be certain about is this: History repeats itself.
Adolph Hitler was a nut. I'll agree with that, to a point. Yes, he lead a nation to slaughter millions of people simply because he didn't like
their religion, sexual orientation, etc.... Lets also not forget what he accomplished: He took a nation of extreme poverty, and depression, and in a
few years, to almost taking over the world. Regardless of your views or beliefs about the guy, that takes leadership, and will.
Apart from the attack on Pearl Harbour, North America as a landmass faced NO threat from the Hitler-lead coalition. So why fight another mans war?
Now, go grab your old high school History textbooks. See if you can find photocopies, or pictures of Nazi propaganda fliers, etc.
Now, change the word 'JEW' to 'Muslim' or 'Arab'. It kind of sounds like the hate filled speech you're hearing nowadays, doesn't it?
So, next time you are watching the Television news, or reading a newspaper.... And they are talking about all the evils being done by the Muslim
Extremists, and those 'Crazy' Arabs'.... Change those titles to 'Jews'..... And think 'Nazi Germany, 1942'.
I know personally several Canadian Soldiers who have served in Afghanistan. I know that many of the friends and comrades have been killed during
their tours in Afghanistan. My question is: Why the Hell are we there? Are The Taliban, (funded by the United States) threatening our shores or
borders? Why not just let them destroy their own country, and leave a few thousand acres of land free for colonization, for our over-populated
planet?
Now I know you're thinking, “What about Al Qaeda? They attacked America!!”..... Don't get me started on that. Just read:
Al Qaeda Is Fake.
