Forced troop worship and compulsory patriotism must end

[Blackleaf]

You never know when an old thread will pop up again. Could be next year, or five years, hell maybe even ten if the site is still around.

All those miserable Lefties who just can't stand seeing lots of poppies and patriotism and admiration for our troops, like the guy in the OP and that ludicrous Grauniad journalist, will soon be forgotten about. The guy in the OP and his protestation will long be forgotten about this time next year when we wear our poppies with pride again, but the troops who gave their lives for our freedom will NEVER be forgotten. The whingeing Left will, but the troops will never be.

Wrong. They come back, changed and in Canada with the New Veterans Charter they are discarded as a financial burden.

broken in various ways some of it never shows

Y'know, I think the little discussion we had on the PTSD of WWII, and what effect it mighta had on society, was probably the smartest thing I ever saw on this board.

Not that there's a lot of competition, mind.

yes it was the most honest

You know he's being sarcastic, right?

Yes, but other may not.

Yes, but other may not.

Good. Baffling the stupid is one of my hobbies.
