Memorial Day has become Veterans Day II--usurped to cover-up this real Great War, which the MSM does not discuss, because of its implications. (Could the present U.S. government be one of a Union by force, a tyranny, an empire?) Now you only hear alot of talk, and outright lies, about how all soldiers in all wars "fought for our freedom". Pardon me for being intellectually honest--no they all did not! The truth is that since the Civil War, Americans have not been fighting to defend America's freedom but an empirical agenda toward global Democracy. Pat Buchanan is about to complete a new book about WWII called the Unnecessary War, which is sure to stir the fires of the real "historical revisionism" fed to everyone in public schools. The Iraq war is not to defend America's freedom any more than Wilson or Roosevelts.

People should use Memorial Day to consider what the Civil War was really about that cost the lives of more than all other U.S. wars combined

You mean Memorial Day is not another 3 day weekend off work and time to barbeque and get drunk? Or go to huge sales?

Exactly! And peace cannot ever be won this way, although we have rhetoric to the opposite. Peace can never be won through military victory, but only through justice and fair and equal treatment of all people.

Where is the peace?

or if I may, The Freedom?

Video, America's war history in 2 minutes

A little too sentimental in presentation, and lacking the context of important facts, but a fair summary which also highlights both political parties.
