pose next to the dead war hero



I have a friend who is as left as i am right in a manner of speaking, our differences always fuels a good argument and conversation and i often feel lucky to have this as i feel it keeps me balanced on many issues. Quite recently the day of remembrance past and as usual i wore a poppy, i turn to my friend and ask why he doesn’t wear a poppy? And although he recognises and respects those that gave their life, his grandfather for one was war hero. he turns and says that the poppy was being abused and used for media and war glorification. I found it hard to hear this and after a good hour of discussion we both respected our points and had a cup of tea.
Then i read this, in a time when our troops are out there fighting a political battle and losing their lives all for so these two idiots can battle it out on who looks more solemn next to the dead war hero. They make me sick and the pair have disrespect the fallen and the country that nether one deserves to lead.

I stood my ground and i will always wear my poppy with pride and the upmost respect. but these two do nothing for a very much needed cause apart from piss all over it.
