I have recieved a number of emails about my suggestion for the site (most of which have contained alot of anti-bush sentiment and assumptions that I am in support of the war) .. and I can only assume that the authors of these emails have simply not read the post with which i first suggested the link .. in which i said "Despite my objections to the very reasons these Marines fell, and the legitamacy of our true objectives in Iraq, I cannot deny the beauty and skill with which this tribute was created. very well done."
If you read that text, you should quickly realize that I am fervently opposed to this military action, almost all of the Bush Administration's ridiculous gunboat diplomacy policies, and its utterly ludicrous propaganda tools fed to us through the media. I cannot stress just how passionate I have been about this in the recent months.
With that said, that does not make the deaths of these soldiers in combat any less legitimate. They are merely the loyal acting hands to a rather unintelligent head. These men died believing that they were defending freedom, we may not believe this is so, but that does not mean that it is hypocritical to honor their deaths. You do not have to believe in a message to appreciate the beauty with which it was stated.
