35 million people died in WWI
60 million in WWII
2-4 million were killed in the Korean War
2-4 million in Vietnam
150,000-600,000 were killed in Iraq
In all these wars civilians bore the brunt of the death and suffering
Innocents
Memorial day is not for military heroes
Not for our 'brave' troops
Not a day for our flags, our nationalism
Memorial day is for remembering the absolute insanity of war
And to pause, listen, and learn from the anguished cries of millions
