Dan Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Finally got a chance to use an old idea of mine: Edit: Quick note: The words arent mine, they are song lyrics from "What are we fighting for" by 'Live' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 (edited) Dan, you touched on something critical here. By being negative about the current political military deployment by most of the 'modern world', you show a certain support for the troops that is often blindsided. Support the troops by not sending them out to fight wars created by bureaucrats. Yes, I know. No political discussion, and even less in the GDC, and more so, me being staff. I thought about the theme, and all I can think of is my brother, in the Canadian Air Force, who will not be risking his life due to choices made by the Canadian Government on a situation that there is no qualification for. Sorry, folks. I know I risk my position, my post AND my beliefs, but this is one GDC that I cannot accept, nor ignore. /hides EDIT: To the veterans of wars past, I won't wear a poppy on my lapel, but I will buy a round at my local Legion hall. To those who have served, my best regards. Thank you, all. I don't question those who serve, like my brother has for the last 15 years, I question the choices made by those who command them.

It is the heroism of those who risk their lives despite these choices - whether they agree with them, are cognizant of them, or not. In that capacity alone do we pay tribute.

Whether that right was protected for me, Dannik or gained for the people of Iraq the outcome is the same. It takes the common soldier, sailor and airman to guarentee that right. Not some politician. We may not always agree with what people say but they do have the right to say it because of those in uniform. Stout Hearts |RE|Warhawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, for this particular GDC, please feel free to post as many non official entries as you'd like. Point being, I plan on incorporating all, some or, one of these into a Flash based memorial for GR.net (most likely all so the more the merrier).

snared_gambit Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I was cosidering doing something similar to Dan, but in the spirit of respect for those fallen in conflicts the world over, I'm not going to. Soldiers deserve respect, because they do the dirty work of those who do not in many cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
