I'd rather commemorate the Iraqis and other innocents who are dying for American greed.....Orwell had it right in so many ways...in our Newspeak we have made heroes out of every US soldier,,, short of committing an out and out crime, all soldiers have become heroes...because in truth NONE of them are. I have no doubt the Germans presented their soldiers as heroes too...heroes for what? The entire meaning of the word has been trashed....just to put on a uniform and go kill whomever your country tells you to is now the mark of a hero.

After the war on Grenada the government handed out so many medals, for nothing, that many older Vets sent the ones they'd earned back to the Pentagon in protest, because medals had lost their meaning....our neo-con government has made a mockery of democracy, of freedom, of heroism...they secretly laugh at us behind our backs because we have been so easy to fool time and again.

American soldiers are up against civilians...many of them fighting to defend their lands and homes from our aggression...they are kicking down doors and murdering parents and children,,,,,and the "enemy" they face has become our enemy because WE made them into enemies of ours...because war is great business....just as prisons and universities and schools have been privatized so has war...war is now one more way to get money from our Treasury.,..it's a way to earn great sums for little risk....private schools and prisons get their money from our government, they don't earn it on the free market...if we didn't have this kind of topsy-turvey socialism these people would be out of a job..and the same goes for the military and the assholes who want us to land on Mars.

This time around they needed an actual attack, another Tonkin wouldn't do....and the Soviets were no longer our "enemies"...so they picked on Muslims...first by goading and commissioning the Israelis to torture the Palestinians thereby angering huge numbers of Muslims....and then they starved to death Muslim children...and then they attacked a country that had done nothing to us...and THEN they came around and said they could "protect us" if only we gave them our national checkbook and credit card and forgot about other needs...just the need to be "safe"...and it never had to happen...we were never under any threat from the Muslim world, never...and that was intolerable because without a new enemy how could neo-cons get their hands on our money? They certainly aren't capable of making an honest living, so they created a danger where none existed or needed to exist....these people are the ones used to sucking on the government tit, not the rest of us with our food stamps.

There was nothing heroic or right or noble in the Iraq war...just the contrast between our heavily armed soldiers and the "enemy" in their nightshirts and 40 year old rifles and stolen vehicles is enough to tell you that this was never a FAIR FIGHT...not from the beginning and not now...and Isis is a creation of the same neo-cons...just as Israel obeys our commands so too does ISIS....

No, there were no heroes.....except the brave people who took up what arms they could to defend their country from us...and now comes the insult..all over the news the word is that our government complains because Iraqis have no "will to fight"...that's a laugh....WE are tired of the war, imagine how they feel? We unleashed this nightmare on them and now WE complain because they are tired of it.....there is a whole new generation that only knows war and death and destruction,,,they have no jobs, no homes, no hospitals, no families and no future...and they can see who started all this....and of course they are PISSED...which is just what Bush wanted....it is not a case of "mistakes made" as we always say...no mistakes were made. It was deliberate and it has been a huge success, for some, for the usual suspects and criminals who wear suits and shake hands and smile.

This war, on some future day if not now, will be something to remember in shame...and despair, because it didn;t have to be, we never needed a Patriot Act, that too was part of the plan...and now whoever criticizes our neo-cons is a potential target for a drone strike because he or she is aiding the enemy...just by criticizing.....wait for it.
