The moral obligation of patriotic duty requires we question war, especially wars of choice. Alternatives to war need discussed. The numbers of the dead and dying in Iraq by U.S. by silent consensus is over the line.
Healing can happen, our own and others', in the most unexpected circumstances. Taking part in promoting Peace is a most likely and fertile ground for everyone's mending to begin, and that's what DFA is doing.

When I look at this I am reminded of how much change must be made.

A sad reminder of what war is all about.

I think our discussion has gotten somewhat circular, going from the war to the video and back to the war again. I respect your opinions about how you feel about the nature of this video. This is a touchy subject and will always be. I will only say that many, many vets have reacted very positively to this memorial. At some point I would like to send you photos of what some of them have written on these gravestones. Maybe we're not even that far apart?

Start at the bottom posts and read up. Sorry for all the posts. Will try to be more concise next time. ;)

Anybody who seeks transparency in this matter can get it if they put forth the effort. To my knowledge, the public is allowed to visit most military graves. However, splashing images of the fallen at a time of dire loss for fallen soldiers' families goes over the line, IMHO.
