How are my comments out of line?
If the day is so exclusive that someone from another country can't possibly understand or comment on it I imagine there would not be a post about on a forum where anyone from anywhere in the world could read it.
My point was, the things you said were extremely insensitive and showed a complete lack of understanding in what the day means to us as Americans. The stuff you said was kind of insulting and the fact that you don't realize why it might be perceived that way by us confirms that it was a cultural communication breakdown.
Not a big deal. I was just pointing out that you might want to think twice before posting flippant platitudes about holidays from countries other than your own, especially when they are holidays focused on remembering our dead loved ones who died fighting for us (whether or not they are misguided is a whole different discussion, and one that doesn't belong in a thread like this).
