They never gave their lives for this country. They died for goverment policy. Most were conscripts and had no choice either. All a waste of lives imo.
Absolute nonsense mate.

Poppy Day is about remembering the dead and their bravery. It isn't about remembering, or even approving of, a war or the reasons behind it - it is about individual soldiers. You don't have to agree with any policy, military leader or government to remember the rank and file.

That aside, if you think that getting Hilter out of Poland wasn't worth five years of my grandfather's life (he was a volunteer) in a POW camp then you must know something that I don't.
