I have nothing but respect for my veterans. You don't need to agree with your president or a war, but always support the soldiers.

I have a bunch of military feels pictures. Feel free to add any of your own. I'd love to add more.

"You don't need to agree with your president or a war, but always support the soldiers."

I am staring at this sentence for past ten minutes and I still haven't figured out how to properly reply to such a stupid statement...

Simple version: "Support the people dying for your right to disagree with something"

Even simpler simple version: "Don't support the people throwing their lives away for a pointless cause that will only continue to drag more lives into it so long as fools are willing to accept it."

"Always support the soldiers"

Yeah, because we haven't heard a couple hundred stories about war atrocities instagated by soldiers themselves over the last decade. I don't see much support for the opposing side.

for the occasional person(s) who do not know how truly saddening this picture is, the US flag goes to the next of kin, meaning that both the boy's mother and father are gone.

His mom's alive though. I'm assuming she wanted the flag to go to her son so that he could maybe cope with the death of his father better.

This one needs some back story. This is a Russia WW2 veteran. Him and the other men in his platoon would meet in the same airport every year for a reunion. This year no one except him showed up. He waited for 2 hours before realizing no one else was coming and he was the last one left in his platoon.

sadisticsalmon I dunno, I think that Shane's voice doesn't complement the song well. I agree they do have better music backing it though. I ******* love The Pogues though, If I Should Fall From Grace With God is one of my favorite albums.

The Pogues - The band played waltzing matilda

I don't wanna sound rude, that is a great song, but I personally prefer the Pogues version.
Also, why is a song about an Anzac, always best done by the Irish

It will show something during most days, for an hour or two around 11 am, more than likely.
But the picture will only be perfect on that day and time.

Because the earth isnt in the exact same position every single day due to the way it revolves around the sun and tilts on its axis, the same thing that causes seasons.

Honest question, not tying to be a smartass or anything.

But I head that over centuries and eons, the earth is slowly moving away from the sun. Given a certain amount of time, wouldn't this stop the image from showing correctly?
