    So my father may not have served in WW2, but he was a 20 year old British Paratrooper of the Kings Own regiment, in what became known as the forgotten war, Korea 1950s. We had many chats about his service there. The bravery of all forces, on all sides is astounding . He died almost a year ago, still talking to his fallen comrades, Love you Dad.

      This is the stupidest thing I've read today.
      Back then, the armed forces in the UK were fighting against the Nazi's, don't forget in WWII the Nazi's relentlessly bombed London and England had to create literal sectors to defend England's airspace from the Nazi's. I highly suggest you learn about the Battle of Britain and educate yourself on the dangers England directly faced from being so close to Nazi occupied France.
      The southern most point of Britain was less then 30 km from the northern most point of Nazi-occupied France, the only thing between them was the English Channel.
      Are you trying to shame them for defending themselves against the Nazi's? Because it sounds like it.

      indeedy!. Plus, are we going to see another hypocritic charade of failing to remember that the Soviets paid the biggest butchers bill when it came to the circumstances that brought around this "expedition". Are we going to forget that the Soviets were our allies during this conflict (rhetorical = yes!). Are we going to forget that the Ukro's named streets after the Ukrofascist Stepan Bandera?. Are we going to forget that the Azov Batallion have the wolfschanss symbol used by the 14th Galician SS brigade during WWII.
      He/She (they/them) who forgets history........is destined to repeat it.
      6th June 44 was the opening of the second front. But by this time the Soviets had already beaten the nazi's back through Poland.
      Remember who got to Berlin first? The Soviets
      Remember, if it weren't for them you'd all be speaking German!.
      Some are learning by now that, in Ukraine $ isn't everything!. US might have the weapons but Ukroreich is now desperately short of men, hence why they are conscripting special needs to the trenches.

      The Soviets should never be forgiven for forging an alliance with the nazs in the first place!. BUT I think they have paid a high enough price for their mistake......I call 28 million lost vs our combined 1 million a fair price.
