Lest We Forget

[Moreliaman]

well boas said most of what I would have replied with so no point repeating it, I have nothing against American’s , its the government that causes the problems, likewise with the excuse for a government that gets elected here , I also hope I haven’t offended anyone, I would like to add that I have the utmost respect for those who were active in any conflict and the unfortunate who lost their lives (including obviously civilians) in every country...........the comment I made came from a conversation I had with a guy that had been in ww2 , he's under no illusion who he was fighting during ww2....Hitler...not the German people, but he told me the American government ignored several pleas from Europe to help with the war, they only got involved when the Japanese government decided to attack pearl harbour, he did mention them helping Australia but thinks they helped Australia mainly because it was much closer to Japan, a perfect place to launch attacks from.
I just feel so sorry for the poor old guy because not only has he fought in a war, lost friends & relations, to top it off he has just lost his grandson to the Iraq conflict and he believes his grandson died fighting for the American governments gain, and not for the freedom of the Iraqi people

boa, I don’t think anyone should trust the English government even now, bunch of liars the lot of em :wink:

Colin, I really don’t know why the hell you guys started calling us poms !! After 2 weeks in the sun I really think a cooked lobster would have been more appropriate than a round fruit...... guess it’s easier to say pom :wink:
