For Memorial Day

Anticipating that special feeling of sappy desperation from all the Facebookers and emailers who get really geared up to send and/or post all that drippy maudlin crap that often takes honest-to-god people in uniform and turns them into fetishized plastic effigies that resemble real human beings in practically no way at all:



And just as a reminder:  Way too many of us are way too fond of saying something like this:
"The warriors are not to blame for the war".  
Bullshit.

The ultimate responsibility for every war is borne by the individual soldier.

You don't have much of a war 
if nobody shows up to fight.
