Nor is the day to think about this within six months of today, one way or the other. It's also not the day to think about the original intent behind the observation of Armistice Day, and how it's been co-opted to turn it into another day of glorification of the military and the projection of American empire around the globe.

So, just forget that, because today is not the day for it.
