Is It Veterans’ Day, Veteran’s Day, or Veterans Day?
As November 11 approaches, some people may wonder how to write the name of the November 11 American holiday that commemorates the end of world-war hostilities in 1918 and 1945 as well as all who have served the U.S. Armed Forces. Do we use an apostrophe when spelling Veterans Day?
The answer is no. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, “The holiday is not a day that ‘belongs’ to one veteran or multiple veterans, which is what an apostrophe implies. It’s a day for honoring all veterans, so no apostrophe needed.”

Can we not celebrate the people who have made sacrifices for their country and for ideals like freedom, and support those people because they have inadequate support from the government who ordered their sacrifices, while also decrying the actions and behaviours which we see as morally wrong?

Professional killers are not heroes.
Man, that’s a uniquely disgusting way to remember the folks killed to save their country and other countries from domination.
You might try and fuck off with that attitude for one day
I never said they are not useful or necessary. But I refuse to consider murder to be something heroic. Now if your moral structure allows you to consider that killing can be good, I just hope for you that people who don’t like you don’t think the same.
I hope you’re not responding to me, because that would not be murder, it would be slaying a monster.
Once again, I hope for you that people who see you as a monster don’t think the same.
Well, when I intentionally mishandle a pandemic disease in order to wipe out part of a population and request testing be slowed down to influence statistics, I’ll let you know.
And yet they’ve all failed to kill the orange despot.
they are when the folks they killed were fascists. Also, hot take here, I’m pretty sure that the US occupation o Afghanistan was better than the current system in place there.
a ‘hot take’ not just perpetuating united states state department talking points
I dunno man, an official government which forbids women to literally even speak sounds a lot worse than the shit the US pulled when we propped up Hamid Karzai.
Whats happening in Afghanistan did not start or end two minutes ago, that’s such a simplistic take.
Don’t presume everyone you engage with online is a man. You’re dismissing a woman while pretending to champion women.
