Pretty much the only American holiday that isn't total bullshit.

Fuck Yeah.

 

[El Stormo]

I don't even know what's being Memorial'd. And I don't care so no need to explain

 

[derek]

Smoked meats and Ford, I think.

Fuck Yeah.

Well, let's be honest here. Pretty much every holiday in existence is total bullshit, no matter the country.

It used to be called Veteran's Day.

 

[neal]

dude, veterans day is its own thing, for the living veterans. memorial day is to honor the dead soldiers. all that wine erase your memory mr air force?

 

[Dead Winter]

Probably so. It's been 5 years since I celebrated either. I never paid attention to that shit, I was always like, "Cool...another day off...oh wait...FUCK...I have to sit scope that night while everyone goes out drinking soju in Songtan."

I never understood the splitting of the two. We're all veterans, dead or alive.

I worship neither gods nor people. Holidays are at heart a form of worship. Fuck that.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

[Malergion]

Yeah, yeah.

 

[Karmic]

way to make the living soldiers feel like shit, they never get honored

If anyone really deserves a holiday, it's probably them. Quasi-mythical Jews and a bunch of Puritans really don't.

 

[Malergion]

I have nothing against recognition. Just holidays. My grandfather served as a SeaBee in WWII and it would be silly of me to act like it didn't matter. Not what I meant.

 

[derek]

How else to recognise them?

 

[Malergion]

By personally talking to them. When they're dead they aren't gonna give a shit.
