<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1479764, member: 26302&quot;]Well sir, I don&#039;t think you are disqualified in the least to render a judgment. The &quot;even worst&quot; part of all of these military themed coins is how the rest of the world judges them. Short of a country like North Korea, we probably have the most military themed coinage in the world. What does this tell the rest of the world where are values are? We got to be the largest economy by promoting free markets, capitalism, entrepreneurship, liberty, freedom. We took the &quot;poor and huddled masses&quot; from Europe and elsewhere to become our own liberty loving nation. Now all we seem to celebrate is warfare.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is because of other nations like yours Christian that I object most strongly to these military commemoratives. War is not something to celebrate. You honor your dead and wounded, you honor their sacrifices, and hope that theirs is the last sacrifices needed. I lost friends in the military due to enemy actions, and I honor their memories. I don&#039;t want or need a coin to do that for me. I especially do not want a coin commemorating a 5 star general that never fell in battle. Seems we are just glorifying war leaders. I would rather glorify a person who cured polio, or helped the French identify AIDS, or initiated a micro loan program benefiting subsaharan Africa.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
