Ok. I get it’s a sensitive subject. I wasn’t taking the piss and I will not say more than that I feel for your lost soldiers. Sure. You’re welcome! I’ll show you all the “no-go-zones”. Send me a pm when it’s time. Quote:

FYI, Switzerland is the most expensive place to buy a big name automatics. You are better off purchasing higher end automatics from other European hub destinations.

Yeah I know. It’s just a real common misconception among you yanks. A recent example; the Swedish company Spotify were recently listed on the US market, the NY stock exchange honoured it by flying the Swiss flag. |

He said he respects soldiers 100%. Then essentially said it's unfortunate that many soldiers have died due to political grafe/bullshit. How the hell is that disrespectful to those who lost their lives? |

Imagine a family member is killed while serving in the armed forces. You're at the funeral and someone named subsub comes up and tells you "sorry for your loss", and oh' BTW your dead family member was just a tool for those horrible corporations that want to get rich from gun sales. Crude, inappropriate and not the time or the place for that discussion. DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW! If subsub or any one else wants to discuss their feelings there is a novel hardly used button aptly named "NEW THREAD".

I know you mean well and come from a good place with this thread. Please let me point out a couple small but very important things. Memorial Day or Decoration Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces. Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday, observed annually on November 11, that honors military veterans; that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. Your initial vdo is about Veterans Day and this holiday is Memorial day which honors only those people who died in service to our country. Both are very important days but very different in meaning. |
