My grandfather died in a POW camp in Burma...he didn't wanna join the forces...he was conscripted.
I respect people who fight in the forces...I'm not anti-war and I know that we need them...I even have dozens of friends in the forces (I come from a 'deprived' area where joining was the best career most could hope for)...but respecting vetrans and the poor sods out there at the moment doesn't mean I can't criticise our governments!
I know most people don't wanna believe their kids, spouses, parents etc could be fighting in a war that's unjust...but sometimes you have to consider it.
