Veterans of WW II have stature as defenders of their nation attacked by aggressors. Veterans of undeclared U.S. wars, invasions and occupations of weaker nations of the former colonialized Third World do not enjoy this kind of stature. We were lied to in order to gain our participation in crimes against humanity. For us, the Day is one of betrayal.(Political News)jayjansonSat, Nov 7th, 20091 Diggs, 1 Comments'Might not right for Israel'
Israel faces an unusual set of circumstances even existential more than 60 years after it was founded on top of an existing nation.It also has won against Arab regimes in successive wars.

War Crimes from WikiPedia:
War crimes are "violations of the laws or customs of war"; including "murder, the ill-treatment or deportation of civilian residents of an occupied territory to slave labor camps", "the murder or ill-treatment of prisoners of war", the killing of hostages, "the wanton destruction of cities, towns and villages, and any devastation not justified by military, or civilian necessity".
Similar concepts, such as perfidy, have existed for many centuries as customary law between civilized countries. Many of these customary laws were clarified in the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907. The modern concept of war crime was further developed under the auspices of the Nuremberg Trials based on the definition in the London Charter that was published on August 8, 1945. (Also see Nuremberg Principles.) Along with war crimes the charter also defined crimes against peace and crimes against humanity, which are often committed during wars and in concert with war crimes.
