Thanks Scrabb.. I did know about the increase in militarization of children. It's shocking. Defensive wars such as WW11 against Fascism are supported but not the other hundreds in which this country has been involved. Sad that Ben Griffin is going. He has had enough I suppose.
At the Royal Albert Hall tonight, all the royals, members of HMG (plus Johnson and his girlfriend) plus Wallace, Defence minister and Thornberry, shadow Defence were there.
They are 'remembering' the fallen but are actually glorifying the military and war. There was even a Jewish Rabbi chaplain included who laid a book on the drumhead altar. He was wearing a sash with the Star of David thereon. How many Jewish men and women are in the UK military?
I remember dear old Harry Patch - ' War is organised murder' were his words. He survived the horrors of WW1. He had said he didn't want a military funeral but Camilla invaded it of course.
