A thread about mental masturbation a.k.a anything to do with remembering or supporting the troops (assuming you have no blood / genuine relations with the deceased. In case you do, then yes, I can see why you'd entertain that idea and it's somewhat understandable)
Rememberance day / Veteran's day

"First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me— and there was no one left to speak out for me." -Martin Niemöller
