true, war is hell, but that doesnt mean we shouldnt remember those who died. remembering the fallen soldiers isnt glorifying war or in any such matter. no one is being "exposed" to war. you dont even have to see any pictures of the dead. just pay them respect, and that doesnt include, IMO, having anti-war rallies.

war is a very important thing to human nature. it will never end, no matter what. world peace is an unrealistic idea. while the cause is noble, do you really think some warlord in africa will put down his AK-47 for world peace?
get real.
