YOU!! Have Your Opinion. I Have Mine.
Not quite sure just what makes You, so 'Perfect' ??
Mine is How I feel about those that gave Their ALL. IF?? You Can Understand That!! Why Did So Many Have To Give Lives?? --- If You do not like what I say -- Just Do Not Strain Yourself To Answer!! Keep Our Topics Light!!

I can understand what Pheonix is saying, all those young lives lost in the cause of freedom and a better country.
Is it a better country? its the 1 I want to live in. On the other hand we had np choice but to fight,the alternative doesnt bear thinking about, being ruled by Hitler. I have said so many times, they were good old days because we were young. In 50 yrs time the youngsters of today will be talking about the good old days.

Hello William, Thank you for understanding the point I was making. I most certainly was not, comparing the issue about IF, we had lost the war!!-- Only the reason, relevant to the tragic loss of lives, given FOR the sake of 'Our' freedom --THEN !! Compared to the overall standard and comfort of living -- TODAY!!
My opinion was absolutely Nothing to do with the 'opposition'of 'those' days!!
To Repeat!! I still have Great feelings for those that gave their lives and every November 11th.(poppy day) I can express those feelings and share with so many othere's!!
One can either share those feelings with so many of us,or completely disregard them!! --- Everybody has their own choice !!

Does anyone remember Locust Beans?? Towards the end of the war or just afterwards we had these beans that looked like flat brown broadbeans. They were a bit hard and very sticky with a sweet syrup oozing out of them. We used to suck on them for hours, there not being many other sweets around.
