Alan just point out one thing remembrance day is Wednesday, the parade is always held on a Sunday . Saves people taking days of there work and causing chaos in London .
On wednesday I'll spend a couple of hours at a funeral of a young soldier that was murdered at home ,whilst out with his mother as a passengers in a taxi which over took a car with two people in it and had no lights on the taxi driver flashed his lights as a courtesy thing , the car followed them to where the drop of was, started to argue with the taxi driver the soldier was stabbed in the back whilst helping his mother out of the taxi , by the other person in the car , this young man had only 12 months before been awarded by the Queen a commendation for bravery, when a armoured vehicle went into a river in Iraq He tried in vain to save his mate who was drowning it was only exhaustion that over came his efforts .
This was a quality soldier and a man .
You don't think for one instance ,the people serving in what ever theater of operations won't pull the trigger out of respect or other wises, so why can't you if you so wish ,I will if the need arises , the only day i don't shoot is christmas thats because i spend the day in the kitchen .
I served for a long while in all our present day conflicts . before we have all sort of **** appears, opinions are like arseholes we've all got one this is mine .
Irwch words ,If only people with the influence would put the words in the right places we would have no need for remembrance parades ,
these words have been about for a long while, have they ever saved a soldiers life NO ,have they ever stopped a killing or a conflict NO, soldiers are still sent to places to carry out the wishes of the governments that are in dispute about whatever .
