Today is Memorial Day, a time to thank the men and women who gave their lives for our country. My family has had personnel in World War II, the Korean War, Viet Nam and now Iraq. I don't understand why people can't be content with improving their own territory, rather than forcibly taking someone else's. There are no winners in a war. The families of the deceased soldiers and the innocent citizens of war-torn countries are the big losers, and for what? So a few greedy men can claim victory and the spoils of war. I realize that it is necessary to have Armed Forces to keep us safe, but do we have to defend the entire world?
