Instead of beating me around the head why not talk about what you do on Memorial Day.
I didn't beat you around, don't be so dramatic. All I did was comment that what you said didn't need to be said in this thread. Astros games and Call of Duty on Memorial Day are just fine. My annoyance was your suggestions that they all died vain pointless deaths. Nothing more. Nobody wants to be preached to about how war is stupid and pointless on the day they are remembering their buddies and family members that aren't here anymore because they believed in something and bravely fought and died for it.
A suggestion of your own invention.
If you actually read what I wrote instead of inserting your own prejudices you would note I never said anything of the sort.
I wasn't suggesting you literally hit me but rather than telling us about your Memorial Day traditions you have spent the whole while talking about me.
As for preaching, some people voluntarily go to church on Memorial Day (founded by the turn the other cheek and love your enemy guy) so clearly there is a general audience for that sort of thing.
Memorial Day also remembers fallen conscripts, some of which were bound not to believe in anything in particular but went to war because they were told to, were pressured into doing so and didn't want to go to prison.
What do you do on Memorial Day?
