Just Because

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.

And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind."

Major Michael O'Donnell
KIA March 24, 1970 - Dak To, Vietnam

Not often, but sometimes, I do feel strongly for the war dead. On the Normandy beaches, at the Pegasus Bridge- places I find myself with the children and confronted suddenly with the awful loss of life - of men, usually young men.

What is the feeling? For me, it is essentially, "What a waste!" There are always better ways to resolve differences.

I remember the war dead everytime i stick on the television and see the standard of living the russian people have to endure because of the brave millioms that lost there lives to the nazis to hopefully ensure the survival of thier country in WW2

26 fucking million people lost their lives there and us poxy brits get all high and mighty about our important contribution in the war we lost less than 100,000

The history books are corrupt
people learn what they are told and not what they think
