Aleks your certainly entitled to your opinion, but for gods sake at least pause a thought to the hurt your comment will cause.
My own lad was out there last year , away for the third xmas fighting for you to be allowed your ignorance.
For your information lighting this candle will make a massive difference, the differece being if we all adopted your attitude and didnt really give a toss then Morale amongst our servicemen and women would be lost and quite rightly so. why should they put thier lives on the line for those that cant or those that dont really have the bottle to do what they do, but are good at shouting their opinions in a bad light.
I will be lighting a candle along with the many thousands that can be bothered and have the intelligence to see that by doing so it gives our lads and lasses a purpose of knowing that there are some back home that make their job worthwile.
I too will be busy with my family but will find 2 mins to pause a thought.
Merry xmas.
