If we are to remember America's dead soldiers, have we a right to ignore the rest of the world's soldiers? brave, noble, cowardly, heroic; patriotic, pragmatic, cynical; those who died killing others and those who died saving others? the spouses, lovers, children, parents, siblings who lost loved ones to the obscenity of war? the good and bad die together, and we lose them all. i am sad for each american lost to war, but i choose to mourn equally for all war's victims, for those who are dying now as we celebrate the already dead. battles may be won; no on ever wins war. good journey to you all.
