This November marks the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1. Kansas City is home to the National World War 1 Museum and Memorial and had some amazing views on an early fall morning. Enjoy, and if you served in WW1 or elsewhere to defend freedom - thank you.
100th Anniversary of WWI
- Thread starter seawolf
- Start date
My late grandpa was in the US Cavalry in WW1 back when they still rode horses.
I hope to post a video later today comerating this sobering anniversary.
I had a great uncle who lost his life on the western front. Visited his grave in Belgium a few years back.

Oh boy....when was the last war you can remember that was fought for freedom? Americans are so programmed by their military might it is difficult to see through any other lens.
I'm not really sorry to bump your apple cart on this one, far too many people have needlessly died for the American version of freedom. Get out of your delusion.

War sucks is a huge understatement. I think lumping WWI & WWII with the wars of choice of the last 70 years is a bad idea here.

Mostly agree. On the other hand we could have helped to stop Hitler a lot sooner. At the end of the day humans are a fairly violent species it seems to me.

I'm a veteran and my family has been in every war since our nation was founded, having first landed in Jamaica after fleeing England in 1611from the oppression of King Henry the 8th.
You said I and my forefathers are too ignorant to understand we have been used and lied to.
I are obviously mentally ill and I'll pray for your tortured mind and soul.

I am being civil while my service and my fallen Marines deaths are being slandered.

I think what he was trying to point out is that wars of choice are a bad idea. Do you think Iraq II was a good idea?

This is a drone group, not a group for discussion of pros/cons of armed conflict or debating our military service.
Besides, debates over anything on the internet are about as useful as a desktop icon to Hellen Keller.
"Oh boy....when was the last war you can remember that was fought for freedom? " Just because it was not for OUR freedom does not mean it was not for freedom. You probably also think that all police officers are out to murder young black men too right?
I think the delusion is in your mind. So sorry you hate America so much. Take one look at the good we have done in the world and get back to us.
I second Elton’s point that this is a group for discussion on drone related things, but I wonder if folk fleeing the oppression of Henry 8th in 1611 were a little slow to react to the English king, as he died in 1547 ...

Shame on you all for bringing your political agenda to what the OP started the post for. We need to remember all who have sacrificed in the name of others and 11/11 this year is a significant event that deserves a moment of respect
