Memorial Day! Mourn US Soldiers Killed in Criminally Dishonorable Wars in Other Peoples' Countries! Imagining What Many GIs Who Lost Their Lives Might Be Saying On Memorial Day If They Could Speak From Their Graves: 'While our family and friends mourn our absence, conglomerate owned media, after having used our patriotism to have us fight criminally unjust wars based on lies, now hypes our inglorious death as beautiful military service, blacking out our senseless massacres of millions over the last 60 years.'

Knowledgeable, informed, really patriotic Americans Mourn Firstly the Millions Americans Have Slaughtered and Only Then Mourn U.S. Soldiers.
A Veterans For Peace Memorial Day Press Release might say that VFP, or at least many if not all VFP, first mourn the patriots of US invaded countries that fell fighting against overwhelming odds, and their civilian countrymen and children who fell in harms way of those US invading forces.

What Dead GIs Would Say To the World on Memorial Day About Being Praised as Heroes. If they could speak from their graves, GIs who died shamefully killing, maiming and destroying within innocent populations, would appeal to Majority Humanity in the ever targeted and plundered Global South, to effect the same level of solidarity that the racist neocolonial investment banker driven imperialists of the 1st World of mostly Caucasian population display, and bring their five centuries of brutal genocidal Western domination to an end.
A growing number of Americans are now able to include mourning the billions who have suffered under U.S. led permanent war hegemony, and this writer agrees with those peoples historians who understand that America has become weakened by having self-destroyed it's economic advantage through spending wildly, unintelligently and massively on its military,* and China will come to be in financial position to offer U.S. a deal better than war, and bring about war investors' military industrial complex failure to keep power in a war weary U.S.A.
