| A thought on Veteran's Day - (not original to me, based in part on comments by Laurence Vance.) We have too many veterans because we have had too many wars. It is tragic that a holiday originally meant to celebrate the end of the War to End All Wars, has now morphed into a celebration of militarism. Yes, the veterans deserve our thanks for their service but if we really wished to honor them we would act to end wars rather than to glorify fighting them.
