It seems to be a "celebration" of wartime which people take pleasure in, and I'm struggling to reconcile that with the bombed-out houses, casualties, grieving families who have just received a WD telegram etc. I am very supportive of war. I hope we have another world war sometime soon to help reduce the excess population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
