O/T armistice day

[Yak]

Lest we forget.

The simple things we do today are because real life hero’s have paid the ultimate sacrifice for us all.
We should never forget that.

I have total respect for the armed forces , let me make that totally clear , their bravery in conflict is second to none in that respect they are indeed heroes .

Other than the two world wars and the Falklands have our politicians who send these lads n lasses to foreign lands to lose their lives and limbs made me and the country safer .

My answer would be no , they've made it more dangerous .

The ultimate sacrifice on Normandy beaches is one thing in 1944 but in Iraq or Afghanistan , I'm not so sure myself .

I will observe the two minutes silence as I always do but as far as the politicians go , well that's another matter .

Don't wish to disrespect anyone in the armed forces , they are indeed heroes .

😠 You just can’t help yourself can you.

Why is it necessary to state political views on this thread.

Every time this dingle comes, on it has a political angle.A very twisted view of life, who must be a very sad person.This is a football message board, not a platform to spread extremist propaganda.Go back to the Barnsley board if you have nothing, football related to write about !!! Why come on a Millers message board? I wouldn't want to pollute the Barnsley message board with the rubbish that you put on here.So why come on here?

To be fair he doesn't have extremist views, at all, from what i've read, you must have a warped sense of politics if you think that way...anyway, as far as i'm concerned i see myself as left wing, a socialist, i see the futility of all wars to be honest, i also think that any British soldier killed in any conflict should be given the same respect as any other, remember that the armed forces are sent to war by politicians, so are just doing their job, whether we agree with that war or not.

As for the poppy bullies, its upto the individual to decide if they wanna wear the poppy or not, it's not compulsory and folk can have an opinion on it regardless of the poppy bullies wanting to force everyone in the country to wear them. Personally over the last few years touring Europe, i've paid my own respects visiting the cemetaries large and small across northern France and Belgium, visiting the big ones like Tyne Cot, Thiepval etc, the normandy ones from WW2, and many many small ones often in the middle of fields, kept in pristine condition by the French, and it's a very very humbling experience, don't ever ever let anyone tell you that you're unpatriotic because you're a socialist.....

It says FOOTYMAD at the top of this message board for opinions on football, NOT political dross!!!!

What's with your inability to spell Britain?

You will find that most of the Continent and especially the former Soviet Union nations do respect the UK's role in WWII and are still recognising & awarding British Sailors on their role in the protection of the supplies it was receiving in the War. France, Belgium and Holland too recognise the sacrifices made.
Those who don't recognise British values and hide behind either a Union Jack or any home nations Flag while spouting vile hatred and abuse at those different to themselves are the ones who are disgracing the country.
And the Poppy Police are an embarrassment and should stick to posting their whines in the Nazi sympathising DM which too is an affront to British values which pretends it's the protector of.

I've long thought that the Great War should be taught in every school, as an exercise in pointless conflict, and the powers that allowed it to happen.

[Pocket rocket]

Don’t think this thread is a place for political views.

It’s meant to show respect to the fallen hidden political views or if a war was pointless is not the point of today.

Could it be that politics and warfare are one entity ?
