Even if its only for a moment or two, for those serving away and for those who have lost their lives fighting to keep your freedom.

Also all the victims of so called radicals.


Enjoy your xmas and new year, but think of the sacrifices made so you can.

Everyone's last minute panic-buying Comm. shops shut in an hour or 2!

Both of my grandads were in it as well @Billy Cattermole One of them gassed at Paschaendaele(?)

Fine sentiments Comm. I'm guessing that the likes of you, Billy and Roger are more sensitive to this than most others who've never served.

Maybe folk are just busy mate.
My granda was in the Somme in WW1.
Didn't really talk much about the war but he did tell me about the Christmas truce & playing football with the German lads.
They were just ordinary lads, same as him.

Maybe. But we shouldnt be.

Its sad when our history seems forgotten. I was just reading about the xmas truce.

The uttet horrors they faced, then a game of football, only to be threatened to be shot for treason if they did it again

Sobering mate. Every year i do the same thread. We can not, must not ever forget.

But this time i also wanted us to remember now. What is happening right now.

How many families xmas this year has been ripped apart.

May sound morbid, but everytime i ser a happy xmas thread, i just think how and why they are able to have that right.

Even down to the doctors/nurses and paramedics etc.

All keep on going.

I'd put this down as a major reason we lose people.

They lose focus. Its horrible,but happens all the time.

One bad letter or phone call can **** them up.

Which is why im 100% against slit arses on the frontline. Its a recipe for disaster.

Well I tend to agree with you but it doesn't seem to affect the Israeli's.
 
In my opinion this is a truly great film.

Oh what a lovely war.

A bit like the end of Blackadder.

When you think about it, you or me don't want to take over some foreign land. It's the rich, powerful and political who start wars. We just have to fight them, they don't suffer and many of them gain from war.

A sobering thread this and certainly worthy of contemplation.

My grandfather was killed at sea. Not nearly as many casualties as the land war obviously but a lot of men died.

I think the sea war was a lot more impersonal in that the two sides rarely got close enough to see the men they were fighting. It was more a case of pounding seven kinds of ****e out of each other from 5 miles away.
