Tal's letter writes:
I think the third rule of war should be that those who have given their all for our freedom are never forgotten, and they are always honored.
I think this raises a very interesting point in the context of this disputed war. Even if one feels that a particular war is unjustified (was it really about 'our' freedom ?), should this diminish our respect any for those who have died obeying their duty to government and country? I suggest not. But it does make their demise seem a little more tragic and unnecessary.
