Exactly my sentiments Ratter - I have nothing but contempt for a succession of UK governments acting out macho 'global policeman' fantasies which should have been consigned to Victorian history books ...
... and nothing but humble praise, respect and thanks for the work and sacrifices of every single member of the 'rank and file' armed forces.
I weep for all those lost young lives with their fresh young faces smiling out at us from photographs - how DO their families cope. If possible, I will be wearing my poppy with even more pride now. Bless them all.
No problem Phil, I truck round EU every day, and always say thanks to the graves, (of ALL nations), when I pass them/see them... Some cemetaries are small, but for the guys there, are their final place! Lest us Forget!----Never!!!
