The news has been featuring many stories about Korean War veterans being honored here recently. The question is - is it better to honor them now (several decades after their actual service) than to have never done it at all?
Well, this all depends on if you're a glass half empty or glass half full person. Put yourself in their shoes. Looking at the world from a "glass half empty" perspective, it's easy to feel insulted that it took so long to receive acknowledgement for a job well done in the war. But, from a "glass half full" point of view, you would feel proud and bask in your accomplishment.
While I'm neither a "glass half empty" or "glass half full" type of guy, I do feel that time is of the essence. It is important to show war heroes how much you appreciate the risk they took, and the hard work they did while serving at war as soon as possible. Otherwise, they can't truly match your actions with their good deed. I'm definitely glad these guys are finally being honored, but I think that the timing could have been much better.
What do you think?
