We reserve the right, however, to curse throughout eternity those leaders who through ignorance, neglect, deception, or any combination of the three lead live to a ripe old age after leading us into senseless wars which serves only their own egos, delusions, or narcissism.
One stoic's look at living in the Upper Midwest, mostly about time spent outdoors, dogs, and food.

Armistice Day 2013
We remember and honor the sacrifice of war's veterans, regardless of what we now think of the war the in which they served. We acknowledge those who did not return whether they volunteered or were drafted, whether they believed in what they were doing or were just looking to come back home. We acknowledge that war is, in the course of human events, necessary if a people are to remain free but that the cost is always greater than the politicos promise "to be home by Christmas." We remember, but we do not celebrate. War is always a tragedy, especially to those who are most intimately impacted by it.
