Veterans Day

Here's a couple of pictures from the Los Angeles Times' Veterans Day photo gallery:

Veterans Day began on November 11, 1919, and was first known as Armistice Day.

The Australian social democratic economist, John Quiggan, wants us to remember Veterans Day as "anti-imperialism day":

On this Armistice Day, let us remember all those who have died as a result of the crimes of the rulers of the world, and do our best to save more form [sic] dying.

Pure Marxist drivel, but at least Quiggan's got "The One" to cheer on - brought to you by people "who just wanted to live in peace."

John Lennon would be proud.
