God Bless Our Veterans!

I doubt all the Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs who fought under the flag of occupied territories would want to be blessed by some Christian god. I believe the verse should be re-written to include references to Ganesha and Vishnu at the very least.

Also, I thought the American for "Lest we forget" was NEVAR FORGET and some pictures of eagles crying. Is Locke turning all European on us?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This was supposed to be a thread for rememberence, to honour those who have served for our freedoms - making sacrifices and showing courage that none of you could ever muster. Instead you sick fucks turn this into a big joke.

You know what - I may have not been the most active member around here, or the most popular, or even been here the longest - but I thought that we, as a community, were better then this drivel.

Yeah, I'd like to say a big cheers to my mate Phil. He's not in the army any more but did some stirling sniper work during the invasion of Basra by all accounts and is looking forward to when it's been long enough that he can start flogging all the loot on eBay. Nice one Phil.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's by Sassoon isn't it? Not the shampoo dude obviously. We had to do war poems as part of my English GCSE.

I'm pretty certain it wasn't by a Canadian anyway. Did you guys even turn up for WWI?

How ya doing, buddy?

But they're in Community Commons as a rule. Wrong forum mate, that's where you've gone wrong.

So what, you did play in that one then? I thought you guys sat it out until the replay when it got interesting, round about D-Day.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I was speaking idiomatically.

That's probably just what Brady was thinking when he posted it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
