I think you have the wrong ideas about remembrance day. We don't remember the politicians who sent them there, we remember the people who lost their lives.

So what you're saying is that it is unacceptable to honour a young nurse who went to Iraq to help any injured person not just our forces. Yet you would gladly honour some bullying, wife beating so and so, who after committing atrocities to native women when advancing with our forces during ww2, got his come uppence?

No, in our hearts, we remember those that we feel deserve it, not the monsters, whatever the circumstances. Poppy day should be nothing to do with politicians.
