The argument broadly goes that even if you think wars is Afghanistan and Iraq are /were illegal / immoral, you should still support those soldiers who are fighting them, which just seems nuts to me.
The Royal British Legion has a poppy poster this year with the strap-line something like, 'Standing shoulder to shoulder with those who serve'. I just don't want to do that.
But as I said, I respect those who feel differently as it's an event that people can mark with all kinds of sentiments, and it seems rather mean-spirited to spoil it for others.Comment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostBecause when I was a lad, the sentiment was chiefly around remembering the folly of war (WW1) and to a lesser extent remembering the sacrifice of those who died fighting for freedom (WW2). The sentiment is now increasingly hitched towards supporting our boys fighting current wars, which in turn is related to a kind of political correctness whereby you have to support our boys fighting abroad.
