And I totally resent the words you use to describe our brave soldiers. Perhaps you would like to find another nation you could be proud to own. It is okay to hate this war but do not despise our heroes. I can tell from your writing that you are very young and that perhaps excuses you. Joyce |

The wonderful thing about poetry, is we are allowed to freely express how we feel with words. Everyone has so many different views on things. You are passionate about your writing and your message. For that I salute you Abe. |

Wow, Canada, While I cannot agree with what you say, I proudly salute those who lay down their lives so we have the freedom to say whatever we believe...even if what we wind up saying is offensive (btw, you are missing the exhilaration of pride that comes from patriotism as you walk through a cemetery filled with the fallen brave...and your eyes well up with tears that fall in silent tribute to our honored dead) |

I'm sorry if I offended anyone that wasn't the purpose of my writing. I feel sorry the the men that fell not despise. "When your deepest thoughts are broken, keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die." -Shannon Hoon |
