Veterans Day someday unnecessary?

If Americans were willing to self-examine honestly therefore empirically, logically, ethically thus critically then judgmentally, bringing an end to US warmongering abroad while refusing to elect warmongering presidents (i.e. Trump, Obama, Bush, etc.), refusing to elect warmongering senators and representatives too (i.e. McCain, Clinton, etc.), then yes, someday Veterans Day would be unnecessary.
 
The economist Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) observed and wrote,  "The state is God (for many), deifying arms and prisons. The worship of the state is the worship of force. The citizens passionately participate in the war for it is their state, their God, who fights... Whoever wants peace among nations must seek to limit the state and its influence most strictly." That is to say, whoever wants peace must reduce their God the State to merely human as prone to self-interest as well error and excess as fellow humans.

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
