"To make my stance clear. All men and woman that have died in war believing they were fighting for a noble and just cause should be honoured and remembered. They gave their lives because they believed what they were doing was right and necessary but that doesn't change the fact that they were wrong and that they were brainwashed and lied to to ensure they would not only fight, but fight with passion and conviction for the things that meant the most to them (their family and country). When I think about the millions of lives that have been snuffed out over the past 100 years to further the agenda of a handful of mem who are behind all the wars, it makes me sad initially but that is closely followed by anger. When I see hundreds of poppy wearers blindly marching and following the same old script and chanting the same pointless mantras like "Never Again" or "Lest we Forget" I want to shout in their faces, "We've forgotten, can't you see? The wars are continuous and are are not supposed to end and it is your ignorance in part that ensures they never do"."

THAT, Jim...is one of the most powerful and poignant paragraphs I have ever read in my entire life.

Resteeming, my friend!
