Sorry, Capt Ginger. Anniversary stuff was insensitive, I admit. I can never bring myself to watch these things, much as I admire the bravery of the military, and I'm no pacifist. But I hate to see commemorations that include glorification of our oft-misguided military endeavours. Wear the medals, commemorate the dead but lose the uniforms and marching bands and the sickening sight of politicians and royalty who have nothing to do with the fighting save to use the blood of our young people to perpetuate their own positions. I would have tuned in to watch Margaret Thatcher apologise for ordering the slaughter of over three hundred young men on the General Belgrano, but I left the telly off on the assumption that that wasn't going to happen. That's what I meant.
