Not a thank you. Just an acknowledgement that the child-murdering, napalm-wielding soldiers that had no right to be there fought with honour. I mean, if we’ve learned anything in the past century, it’s that only the people in power to blame, and not the ones who are just following orders.
Also, I have no idea how this person is reconciling “all lives are sacred” with “people whose job it is to kill other people should be revered.”
