Why do they always say "they died for their country"? Its clear that they are in Iraq and Afghanistan at the interest of politicians and the Corporations. Lets be honest with ourselves

Personally, I think Wootten Bassett, is as close as any country can get to our Canadian Highway of Heroes and the honour that we show our fallen. One day I hope to visit Wooten Bassett, it would be an honour. xo

@solefthanded2 Well dont live in a democratic ( allegedly) country then, try Russia or Chile the list is many. Freedom of speech, freedom to voice any opinion.

We must NEVER, EVER, again allow the naysayers, lecture and general anti-Brits to EVER raise their voices to insult our fiercely loyal, proud, brave and resolute armed forces.

'I am puzzled why they havent gone into Iran yet', the reason this is because Iran turn a blind eye to the munitions for terrorists in Afghan and Iraq coming from Iran, that keep us busy, as they know they're next on the hitlist.

@cod26 On 7/7 in london it was most obvious the patsie or finger to point at was clearly muslims, i care nothing for religious beliefs like you, but i do believe the muslim religion has been portayed as the source of all evil actions in the world today, which isnt the case. I am puzzled why they havent gone into Iran yet, its certainly on the menu, i think they are trying to remove the goverment first, then covertly move in maybe , unlike in Libya.

@permaveg 11/7? And yeah i do believe the religion of the terrorists then was Muslim, but i don't care what there religion is... Okay if its all about oil, why haven't they invaded Iran, i'm sure they cud use the same excuse used on Saddam to go to Iran.

@cod26 You need to wake up and stop believing the crap in the media, i suppose your convinced muslim terrorists did 11/7 and 7/7. "We attacked them NOT a country" ,they just happen to be residing in a country the oil mafia want, a similar threat was Iraq ( saddam not a real threat , but theres the oil again, in they go ) . If you believe its all to do with west hating muslims, they have sold you a lie, the real terrorists work in high office in our own land .
