Hi Crewy,
you are right, it's not real but is ment to be thought provoking & remind people (especially those without military connections) that great sacrafice is being made again for them & not to forget the individuals & the people they leave behind.
Blade,
oh so true, easy to put others at risk while you sit in a nice comfy chair........a lot harder to bring them home without losing face & having the public think you've wasted other peoples lives.
Whatever you do this weekend, enjoy it
Tony
