Yes, because it was a war, and sad and awful things happen when men set their minds to killing one another. Folks, lets just all say thank you to those in all of our nations who fought and died for us. Let's not turn this into a contest about who did the most, who gave the most, or who was late to the war. We all know this thread is on the verge of becoming ugly and getting closed down, and that would be shame given the honorable nature of the thread. Can't we all just show our mutual respect and let it get back on topic before things go that far?
