That begs the question that people "had" to die. That is exactly my problem.

- chrisseaton 6y agoI don't think that's what 'had' means in this context if you read it more charitably. You can rephrase as 'it's sad anyone died, no matter which side they were on or how they ended up in that situation' if you find it confusing otherwise.
- DubiousPusher 6y agoThis context is very weird. I don't really have a problem with this tradition. But I do see how it can be political. In the U.S. there is memorial day and veterans day and they are very political. My main issue is I do not get the analogy. Those two things are very different to me.
