"My Soldiers, My Veterans"
by John Nichols, The Nation
On this day above all others we should understand that wars are conceived by presidents and prime ministers, not soldiers.
After the bloodiest and most divisive of America's wars, the poet Walt Whitman offered a dirge for two soldiers of the opposing armies -- Civil War veterans, buried side by side. As John Nichols writes, his poem is an apt reminder that, when the fighting is done, those who warred against one another often find themselves in the same place. It is appropriate that we should garland each grave, understanding on this day above all others that wars are conceived by presidents and prime ministers, not soldiers.
