A) point out where i said they should not be honored and do not deserve a day?
you need to be able to separate issues and really understand that human greed and interests are the backing of every decision ever made.
they indeed were fighting for money and greed and nothing else. that is why it is so sad.
i will honor those whos fought bravery but i will not honor the reasons. if people want to throw around "my grandpa did this or that" both my grandpas were in the WW2. and i personally am against war and the reasons. and so were they.
Americans are built up on this thing called "freedom". but your freedom is purely facade.
The country with power always teaches its citizens that the leadership is the best and most suited. that is pure politics.
so please tell me if they didnt fight for money and greed then what did they fight for?
america fights wars that benefit them. The american army is purely a proxy army and is 100% for hire by the highest bidders.

If you are lied to about what your countries best interest are then no you are not really fighting for the best interest.
