"I watch from afar. I’ve never paraded, but my fallen comrades are never far from my thoughts. Not just on one day a year. I love my country but at times I have found patriotism to appear a one way street." Agreed, soldiers remember our fallen everyday, ten public once a year. Still, I wouldn’t miss it. | |||

"I watch from afar. I’ve never paraded, but my fallen comrades are never far from my thoughts. Not just on one day a year. I love my country but at times I have found patriotism to appear a one way street." This sums it up for both of us, happened to be near the ceremony yesterday so we both stood and paid our respects for those we served with no longer here and those still are who suffer.. Used to get up to the garden of remembrance at Westminster when we lived down south but today we will observe and reflect away from our local organised parade .. | |||

"Sometimes, when I see people, hear people, talk to people, or read what people have to say on the internet, a little bit of me wishes the Germans had won. " What ??? You are pro concentration camps ? | |||

"I think that for some, sadly, armistice day has become a celebration of the military and patriotism. For me it is a reminder of the tragedy and sacrifice that people of all nations have suffered because rich people have sent poor people to war. Mr DD" Agreed. There's come to be significant divergence of what we're celebrating, I feel. There are some things I don't want to lend my support to, even though I absolutely commemorate. That's why I do it privately. | |||
"Will be at our local service today! LEST WE FORGET. just wished everyone done their part and stood together." Everyone excluding the gay community you mean? | |||

"Some idiot MP, possibly the PM, described it as a 'sacred day'. I think he is getting confused. It's not connected to god or a religious purpose, though having said that, I have been known to go to the church up the road where the war memorial is and stand with them at 11.00 to remember those who sacrificed all for our freedom (and then think "what the hell would they make of this current shambles who are destroying those very freedoms?")" The word sacred isn't just related to religion. It can also mean "regarded with great respect and reverence", which I think sums up what the "idiot MP" or PM probably meant. | |||

I consider Remembrance Day sacred. I also consider that many, increasingly, defile it. | |||

"a sacred Hindu text"" This is a very unskilled use of a dictionary. The thing that needs to be remembered is that similar words indicate relation, and that words have a variety of interconnected meanings, which often shift over time. To say that "sacred" and "ecclesiastical" are the same is to say that I'm the same person as my cousin. Or maybe "dedicated" is the same as sacred. "Susie studies hard. She is sacred to her commitment to get into Oxford" | |||

"Just had a thought. Wonder how many of the fallen have died on home soil. " Probably thousands,those returned home and died of wounds later.There are twenty eight Canadians in our local cemetery from ww1 who died in a hotel used as a hospital,plus the English guys. | |||
"I’m going to play devils advocate…… Why is it my patriotic duty? I hope you have a good day and the rain stays away. " It isn't your patriotic duty, obviously you don't have to do anything at all. But on this day it's good to reflect and remember that many young people gave up their youth, their health and in many cases their lives to protect the freedom and liberty we have today. Both those who served in the military and the civilians who lived and suffered through it. It's also a good day to reflect on how shitty war is and to why we continue to glorify it and continue to make it (especially today in Ukraine and the Middle East), especially considering that it's always politicians who start it and it's left to ordinary people to suffer. | |||
"Sometimes, when I see people, hear people, talk to people, or read what people have to say on the internet, a little bit of me wishes the Germans had won. What ??? You are pro concentration camps ?

"We watch the parade at the Cenotaph every year up till the minor royals and 'idiot' hypocrite politicians 'paying' their respects with wreaths they all claim back on exes, scum " I wanted to know why Plaid Cymru didn't have a representative and had "clubbed together" with the SNP to buy a wreath! | |||
"Lest we forget. But we do forget. Most of the front row at the Cenotaph in London today are utter cunts of the first order, who spread hatred and discord purely for the purpose of keeping themselves in positions where they can steal from the poor and give to the rich (mainly themselves). They lie and lie and lie. They use poppies and patriotism as a mask while sticking the jackboot to those who have given their all for this country - whether that was on the battlefield, or down the pits, or handling hazardous materials while making munitions, or in any number of dirty and dangerous peacetime occupations that are utterly necessary to keep the country running and the people alive. I do not disrespect in any way the vast majority who are silent at War Memorials up and down the country today, or those who may use other ways at other times to acknowledge and thank the fallen, the damaged, the lost. But the ones who speak hate then turn out for the tv cameras and pretend patriotism, the ones who compete for wearing the largest most visible poppy - they turn my stomach. Lest we forget." | |||

"Crikey, what did I start! I think you can be anti war and pro soldier at the same time." Absolutely you can, I am. I protested against the war in Afghanistan, I didn't think it was a conflict that could be "won" and I didn't want any of our forces families to lose loved ones there. I have a lot of respect for our armed services (less for the politicians who send them to battle) and I'll remember those who didn't come back or came back different people to when they left. Lest we forget. | |||

"Just had a thought. Wonder how many of the fallen have died on home soil. Probably thousands,those returned home and died of wounds later.There are twenty eight Canadians in our local cemetery from ww1 who died in a hotel used as a hospital,plus the English guys." There are many unseen casualties. Near me is a small WW1 cemetery filled solely with trainee airmen from Australia and New Zealand who died in training. Never even made the war and are buried half a world away from home. I always make a point of laying a wreath there every year. | |||

Sacred can just mean: worthy of respect and awe, doesn’t need to have religious significance. | |||

"Remembrance Day was the day to remember conscripted service personnel and those who gave their lives to defend libery, not those who chose to join up to see the world and earn money.

"Remembrance Day means different things to different people. Everyone has the freedom to participate or not, that is the choice.

Everyone should respect each other’s choice" | |||

A leftie, snowflake, woke, no balls, humourless island of tedium and bore."Unfortunately you read that wrong. I was implying to the person in question that I am an ex soldier, as he was hinting that they wouldn’t be happy about my sense of humour. Quite the opposite, I wouldn’t expect him, or you to understand that though to be fair. At no point did I say any soldiers are Nazi sympathisers.
My original tongue in cheek post about wishing the Germans had won WWII was aimed at a small group, which ironically, grew larger.
My concentration camp response was that, a response to a stupid question, I honestly don’t care how you read it, I don’t know you, you don’t know me, that’s one thing that will continue to remain.
If you read it any other way, I don’t care.  | |||
" I don’t know you, you don’t know me, that’s one thing that will continue to remain. " I don't think it's necessary for you to write this, like you have some deluded view that we'd be sending you a "FAF" message?! Heaven's above. Good evening to you. | |||
