Just soldiers does them justice, for they are only maimed by the roulette wheel of fortune. And some are accidentally made heroes by their circumstance. Most, I would believe, enter today's armed forces for monetary gain (college, a career, a way to support their young family, etc.) rather than the glory of their country against (often unwarranted) foes of various stripes, some bad, some innocent, and most, just like us, but demonized, nonetheless.
Yes, we should mourn them when they die. Yes, we should support them after they come back. But we should not honor them for war.

A fine tribute, Joyce; I find it sad that after all of this time man still finds it necessary to send "just soldiers" off to be killed or maimed. The evils of war sadly seem a timeless theme on this planet. Thank you. Love and blessings,

They are Just Soldiers, but they are our Freedom Fighters, our unsung Heroes. They are our only hope when there is none.
A wonderful poem of praise for a wonderful group known as Just Soldiers.

And there are a legion of Just Soldiers that all the aspiring to be GOP's promised to take care off and that they forgot once in office.
