I'm just going to gank an observation a friend made.

[Vonnegut] has such glorious rants, like the one about Veterans Day, which he still reveres as Armistice Day.
On that day in 1918, “millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one other,” he writes. “I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember clearly when God spoke to mankind.”
Armistice Day, he says, is “sacred. Veterans Day is not.”
