Remembrance Day

[RED-DOG]

RIP

My Dad sometimes sings this when he has the guitar out, and it always made me cry even as a little girl.

It's always the second verse that really gets me, as it reminds me that not only did millions lose their lives but they took countless families hopes and dreams with them.
A truly unimaginable sacrifice all round.

R.I.P. to all our fallen past and present.

Y'all know this is an anti-war song and not sung in support of wars.  I never saw it but from reading facebook it seems the BBC played this and missed out the most important verse and point of the song. 

Of course its anti-war, but not necessarily anti-soldier, and they're who we're remembering though right?

I remember the victims not the agitators or participants.  Which is why I find the whole hypocrisy around the poppy quite gaulling. 

The vast majority of the participants were the victims.

IMO of course.

Cheers, always thought it was pro-war.
