Rememberance Sunday-Your Views

This discussion is closed.
As you all must know, bar those living in a box today was Rememberance Sunday. I took part by selling Poppies yesterday in my town (The only person under 45 to do so) and laying the wreath from the Red Cross this morning at the service at our town's war memorial.
I was just wondering what your views are on this occasion? Did you buy a Poppy? Or did you buy a White Poppy? Anybody been personally affected by the recent War in Iraq, because today i saw many friends from primary school who turned up in their uniform, paying their respects to their friends they lost in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Let me know thanks!

I bought a poppy. I took part in the minute's silence at the Chelsea-Newcastle game (from the comfort of my living room of course). And I say long may it continue!
Hi Dani, been a while!

i have mixed feelings about remembrance sunday... on the one hand its good to show respect for the war dead, on the other it seems like the establishment is using one day of solemnity to make it alright to kill people on all the other days of the year.

I've got so much respect for the working class people who died in most of those wars, but there are so many bits of the procedure that turn my stomach.
Calling it the Haig Fund? Sick. Like calling a fund to help survivors of the Holocaust the Hitler Fund.
Likewise the memorial service where all government scum who sent them to die turn up and pretend they give a damn.

Hang on they were ready to put their lives down for their country, they followed their orders and never questioned it, just because some Guardian reading dumbass says that they didn't agree with it blah blah blah I'm sure we'd hear from the people who joined the army and ditched. I know someone who did...he is now a resident at HRH's Army Prison.

It is just the leaders who sent them there needlessly that I hate. (edited to say: i certainly wasn't referring to the ordinary people who go to remembrance services, just the leaders)
