Subject: RE: BS: Why a veteran is not wearing a poppy
That is really good, Allan, but again I am probably not getting my point across well enough. Sorry :-( I think it is a wonderful thing if the kids go and learn the real meaning of 'lest we forget'. But if they are not taught that war is abhorrent as well, do they really learn by their ancestors past mistakes? I know my kids were all taught of the horrors of war, including WW1. I am interested to see if my grandkids are taught the same. Or will they be taught it is a good and noble thing to go and get killed or kill other people? I am probably worrying for nothing as schools only provide part of their education anyway. But it is still a concern for me.
