I would say commemorate rather than celebrate. And you can celebrate the heroism of those involved, no matter what the outcome. Any war heroes in your family?

 @davidvanhansen And why would you bring up Crete? The Battle of Crete ended in defeat for the Commonwealth. Did you lambast your grandfather for it?

@davidvanhansen Duh. You tut-tutted the "celebration" of the Battle of Arnhem, because it ended in defeat for the Allies. But in the same breath, you suggest Axis defeats were heroic. Hypocrisy much?

@davidvanhansen Same difference. The Battles of Narvik counted as a German defeat, to say nothing of the late-war battles in Africa, Italy, France and Belgium. Axis defeat after defeat.
