Sadly - VERY SADLY, all those who died or were severely maimed for life in wars 'THOUGHT' they served and sacrificed to defend FREEDOM, RIGHTS, and LIBERTY for their fellow man.
The TRAGEDY is that they suffered and died to defend the HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE, and their own peoples' slavery under that evil system of disguised 'collectivism' and 'eliteism'.
As the script of the movie "THE MAJESTIC" put it so very succinctly: The Declaration of Rights and the Constitution are just papers with words on them. They are contracts that can be altered at any time." (Paraphrased) (Movie theme was the Joe McCarthy era)
