Don't forget, a lot of military folk saw active service fighting against forces of fascism and they are right to be angered when the BNP hi-jacks their efforts to promote their cause.


Absolutely!

When my Dad and his mates used to meet up in more mobile times, they'd often talk about their times in service during WWII.

Years ago, it used to be like the usual scene in 'Only Fools and Horse' i.e. 'Don't mention the War, he'll be going for hours..' etc., but being older now, it's quite fascinating as well as horrible, as to what all those young blokes went through, not least, to keep a force like Hitler and co. at bay.

Another thing that struck me though, was when some of my aunties would speak about watching from a hill while Liverpool burned in the distance!
They must have been crapping themselves.
