Sounded like a good idea at the time.???? I think it's safe to say none of the participants thought it good at the time. Necessary perhaps.Nothing more idiotic than saying all war is bad.You go right ahead and tell the Taliban and ISIS to stop being so mean. I'll even buy you the plane ticket there.The way to honor the war dead, stop fighting wars.Tell us why you think slaves should be owned and Imperial Japan and NAZI Germany continue to conduct their human medical experiments.
There are other ways to resolve conflicts. If slaughter is what upsets you, we should have a one million boots on the ground in Iraq and other near places? Do we?
Good luck trying to get people to go for that. We are, once again, letting the madness and slaughter take its course.
Grow up, please, this shit is just silly.
The fools verse.
BITBURG, West Germany, May 5 — President Reagan presided over a wreath-laying today at the base of a brick cemetery tower looming over the graves of nearly 2,000 German soldiers, including 49 SS troops.
Alluding to the controversy aroused by his visit to the cemetery, Mr. Reagan voiced regret in remarks at an American air base afterward that ''old wounds have been reopened.''
