The term " Happy Memorial Day" really pisses me off.
There's nothing "HAPPY" about it.
It's supposed to be a somber remembrance of deceased military.

I volunteered and wrote a blank check when I enlisted.
Come what may.
My presence and a lot of others defeated the Soviets and brought the cold war to an end without firing a shot.
They simply couldn't keep up with us.

With age and experience I wouldn't do it again unless the rules of engagement were different.
We should not have lost one solitary soul on foreign land when we have the capability to obliterate our enemies from the sky.

the act of 1871 helps explain much of this.
