Seems strange to be commemorating the start of a war - in 2103 will we be doing the same for the second Gulf war?

 

This comment may sound disrespectful but just think about it for one second - the loss of all those brave servicemen and women in Iraq was no less tragic than those who fought in WWI - as well as being far more recent and and still traumatic for living relatives but do we really want to commemorate the start of that particular war?

Oh dear... we must think about it for one second? (alright done). Your comment does sound ''disrespectful'' and there's no may about it IMO.

No one has said the loss of all those brave servicemen and women in Iraq was no less tragic than those who fought in WW1.

You obviously don't really want to commemorate this particular war. And YOU said the ''start'' of that particular war? A convenient word from you, I wonder why? (not).

It's about praise for what they did over the ''whole war''.  Think about that for a second. And YOU come on to a thread like this show disrespect. How dare you?

If it had not been for them YOU  (if you were even alive)  would be speaking German now. Nothing like showing no praise for the Brits and all our allies is there?  But then there's a reason why you wont...heh.  And you have the nerve to say ''WE''.

Now someone else have (it) I wont.      I know the rest of the twist stuff.
