SASless/16blades,
Oh come on, please! “…soldiers that give us our freedoms…..?
To most of the population of this planet soldiers bring repression, enslavement, deprivation, exploitation, bereavement, horror, fear, pain, injury, torture and death.
This has been the case down the ages, nowadays soldiers do their political masters bidding, most of which is defending well entrenched self interest and has precious little to do with “giving” freedom to anyone. In bye gone days it was the same only it was the bidding of families who reckoned they had some divine right to rule over the rest of the population rather than politicians that was the soldiers aim.
When soldiers have “given” us our freedoms it usually involved taking away someone else’s or was a Civil War involving a divided population. WW2 was a citizens war like no other and we shall never see its like again.
