Yes, I know all that. If you want sentimentality to drive your thinking, then go ahead. I
could do that myself: My father was born in 1920, so spent the best years of his life fighting the good fight. I have his France & Germany Star, his Defence Medal, and his War Medal 1939-45 to prove it. The medals he didn't see, as it happens, as he died before the AFPAA could be bothered to send them. I have no doubt at all that, had he known he was fighting for the kind of country you appear to want to live in, he'd have said, 'You know what? I've got better things to do.'
But I
don't do that. So, what's your point?
