Just to give a bit of balance. (Can't have the entire thread consisting of "moral outrage" at this.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote)
Arned Forces day was held this year with events in major towns and cities up and down the UK. There are large sections of the population who wish to show some form of appreciation for the job done by our current Military personnel so a need was met. That seems like a good thing for me. (On the flip side there are plenty of people wishing to give serving military personnel a verbal lashing.........they can log on here for that.)
I can't say I noticed that there had been one venue selected as a "major host location" this year but apparently Chatham hosted this in 2009 with Cardiff scheduled for 2010. (Belfast 2012 anyone?). Yeap, that does make me feel slightly uncomfortable but "Government Exploits Military for Political Gain" is not going to be the most shocking headline ever written.
