They were a different breed in those days. Can you see the teen yobs of today doing what those brave guys did? I can't.

saw eastenders last night and it bought a lump to my throat,i watched it with my 6 yr old daughter and i tried to explain why people killed each other kids of that age see things in black and white but h what do you say when they ask "were the enemy nasty people" it reminds me of that scene from saving private ryan when he slowly pushed the knife in the nazi to kill him,that is what war was really like,fighting for ones country and proud of it.when you watch t.v. lately theres outrage when a teenager gets stabbed but in the war thousands and thousands get tortured and killed for people like us.

In WW1 and 2 we werent the agressors so you could claim self defence for your actions

within reason

ok i was waiting for it just a sly quote and no explanation--go on Kendor explain yourself on this one

I was just saying within reason to your statement about soldiers killing in the name of self defence. ie what is justifiable in their eyes and whats justifiable in the worlds eyes. wasn't making a big issue about anything so don't know why you should get so worked up about it? baffling?
