A life lost under the flag of ones nation is a life which is worth honoring. It doesn't matter which campaign or in which offensive, it is a life of one of our nations heroes and should be respected as such.
EDIT: You turned it into a thread with political overtones when you posted that you were not thankful for the sacrifices of the 97 Canadian soldiers who never came back from Afghanistan to see their loved ones.

Thank you Sir. Soldiers do not set policy.
Got a poppy today even though I have 3 kicking around the house. I gave more than I usually do, but still felt guilty about not giving more. Can I drop a 20 in the bucket, or would there be a better way to give the vets a larger donation? Can I donate to my communities legion?
