Memorial Day is about honoring soldiers who died while serving, all of them.
This is definitely Trump’s war, and his decisions led to these soldiers deaths. This is controversial because they singled these men and women out for a political message.
Any other day this post would be no issue, not memorial Day.
There is something deeply wrong when it’s controversial to tell the truth.
Remember “All lives matter”? And do you remember why it was controversial (read: in poor taste)? Because this is an easy one to parse if you just stop and think for a sec.
The only thing that might’ve been in poor taste was mentioning Trump. Otherwise why wouldn’t you mention the war they perished in.
Singling out specific fallen soldiers was also in poor taste. It’s a day to honor all, not a subset.
Why does ever soldier deserves honour? You don’t know what they did, and a lot of them died while fighting for nefarious causes. Perhaps the entire concept of a memorial day is problematic on its own, since it has always been used to whitewash a lot of heinous shit.
This exactly. That people don’t understand this is worse than the actual incident.
