Question

Help answer this question below.

World War 1 ended on the 11 November 1918 (Veterans Day in the US, Remembrance Day in Canada). Might some of the money collected selling poppies be donated because of anti-war sentiment? Or do you see this more as a day of pro-military commemoration?

    I think world-wide we are in a mess. Anyone anywhere who likes war is unbalanced. Being "pro-military" seems weird to me. As far as I can tell every country's people wants its guys and gals home, away from the wars/killing/terror. Unless you are a bloodthirsty human being who "gets off on" death, I think the 'celebration' should be sadly commemorative of all those who died, especially the innocent ones, especially in unnecessary wars. Anyone who says he/she is "pro-life" cannot be "pro-military"...isn't that a huge contradiction and redolent of hypocrisy? Death is death...murder is murder...no matter where it happens! :(
