They wanted to help defend democracy and our country. Instead they were used as cannon fodder in a foreign war of conquest - ordered by men who avoided their own military service when they were youngsters. George Bush avoided Vietnam through his father's connections and then went AWOL. Most of his advisors avoided the draft and never served in uniform. While other youngsters were dying in Vietnam.

Nice flags. But draping these coffins in flags is an empty gesture. There is no glory in a wasted life.
