Why??
They all died in vain. The poor get sent off to die and the rich(who benefit from wars) sit at home. All those who fought deserve to be remembered-but so suggest that they died for their country is a fallacy.They died for goverment policy. Was pissed off at the BBC this morning....they mentioned conflicts involving British Forces since WW2..Falklands,Iraq,Afganistan...they never mentioned Northern Ireland..a travesty. Plus its not just the dead who should be remembered, all those who fought in a warzone should be given respect, some still are fighting the battle in their heads(and i speak from personal experience)

I agree but it must be remembered all the guys who volunteered some even lying about their age to do so , not all were conscripted . I agree everyone involved in a warzone should have our full respect too .
I'm not sure the world wars were much about foreign policy though
