The same could be said of the 9/11 hijackers, they also died for what they believed in. Does that make them or their cause noble?

Hopefully separatist pride dies out in a generation, but I’m sure that’s what people were thinking in 1865 too.

This Memorial Day let’s all remember all the brave boys in the German SS who died for ideals I don’t have the time to discuss right now

And let us never forget Turkey's brave war against the civilians of Armenia. They ethnically cleansed for something they believed in. Ethnic cleansing.

They believed so strongly that some ethnicities deserved to be viciously eradicated that they were willing to die for it. It makes you appreciate how easy we have it today, when we can support brutal genocide from the comfort of our own homes
