No my poet.
I believe you know that shame cannot be lain below the surface of dirt and hidden so deep within the tomb, burying the wonders from our womb
It has become to painful to continue,

no, even though the immediate victims of war are buried (sadly, some are never found) the tears of mothers weeping for their children and relatives crying for their missing family members can never be buried. What is getting buried every time so far (without exception) is a lesson that should have been drawn with each war. WWII was a result of the armistice agreement at the end of WWI which pushed Germans into poverty and starvation and was indeed drafted to humiliate and empoverish proud people of Germany. We ignore the lessons of previous wars and plow into the next one full steam ahead. The problem is that the old men who almost invariably did not serve send young men and women to die with hubris only political power brings and without hesitation.
Young and powerless are expendable, always have been.
Santayana was right: those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it.
Having said that WWII was not shameful and futile for those fighting the ultimate sources of evil during this part of the century, Hitler and his band of occultist murderers. It was shameful for those who fought as his allies. No war since then was necessary had we read the history books.
I salute those who served, gave their lives or were maimed for life in ANY war on this Veteran Day, and indeed every day.
Sometimes we are forced by the forces of hate and darkness to fight, when we have indeed no choice, those wars are not shameful, but perhaps could have been avoided.
EDIT: LIZZY, do you EVER check your mail, I sent you a note regarding the cat bite.

No, I think it is the duty of historians to look at all events, whatever their meaning. But not all wars are shameful and futile. The war against Hitler was necessary.

No. Nor can it be buried with the selfish immature men who start events that lead to the deaths of millions for their own egos. Men not women start wars and all those wars that are excused as not being wars. Women need to raise better sons.

No, of course not. Look at Vietnam for your answer. Time will only heal our current wars when the threat of Islamic terror attacks has gone away. Until then, the old ghosts will haunt us within our memories and hearts.
God bless us all, especially our Veterans on Veterans Day and every day.

Not for a long time. Ask Holocaust survivors how long they think WWII will take.

No, history needs to remain open and objective - otherwise people will not learn from it.
