It's #RemembranceDay, and I have something to say.
Those soldiers didn't "give their lives for our freedom."
First, a huge number were conscripted, so those lives were *taken*, not given.
Second, that war was the result of rival colonial power building up gigantic war machines that they inevitably, eventually used against each other. There were no "good guys."
So when you think about #ArmisticeDay, think about NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN.
