If you're looking at using / abusing the Forces to reinforce crumbling Governments / political parties might I suggest Margaret Thatcher’s mob and their wee trip to the Falklands and the following years elections are more appropriate candidates.

And anyway, what's wrong with us celebrating our Forces Day … the same as all these other communist countries do?

Armenia; Azerbaijan; Australia and New Zealand; Brazil; Bulgaria; Canada; Chile; China; Republic of China (Taiwan); People's Republic of China (Mainland China); Croatia; Egypt; Guatemala; Hungary; India; Indonesia; Iran; Israel; Italy; Lebanon; Montenegro; Myanmar; Pakistan; Peru; Poland; Romania; Russia; Singapore; Slovenia; South Korea; Sri Lanka; United States; Vietnam. [Thanks Wiki but FR said it was like what just Communists were fond of!]


Still, I suppose if you say / write something often enough you may just convince someone, other than yourself, that it must be true.
Is there any need for that? As you must be aware, there are different views on this subject. They were touched upon in other threads, then we have the news today, so I thought it might be a suitable discussion subject for the Holy Ground.
