Anything else you defy people to produce? Might as well get it off your chest now whilst people are still doing you a favour and humouring you.

An Uncle of mine was a conscientious objector. Ended up becoming a Jehovas Witness to convince the authorities. Snag is, religious mumbo jumbo can be addictive and that branch were and still are of that persuasion. I applaud anyone with courage of their conviction. The soldiers who were convinced they had purpose and those who saw the purpose and didn't agree. All caught up one way or another. All hoping others since don't have to go through what they did.

I can't begin to understand my father's generation yet I think I understand the generation of my sons.   Funny old world.
