As a fellow veteran I too salute all the others, alive and fallen. My family has a long tradition of service, I've got uncles and cousins overseas right now. Though most of us were short timers, 8-12 years on average, most of that time in the Guard or Reserves for many of us, some of my family served 40+ years. WWI, Pacific and European theaters in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Somalia, Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, I had family in all of them.
I do understand and respect the sacrifice.
I'm in agreement with you on the war analogies with sport. I understand why they are use but I'm happier not hearing them.
I'd be happier without bloodshed, but I am able to process the realities of the world and know why we have the armed services and support those that have and still are serving.
