I remember a war that lasted for 30 years and cost the lives of over 1500 British soldiers.
This war was partly funded by money donated from the USA and explosives obtained from Col Gaddafis Libya.
This war took place predominantly on British soil but also claimed victims elsewhere in Europe.
At times during this war, bombs were going off on an almost hourly basis, yet only the largest loss of life was reported in British newspapers.
Most of the young ones today never heard of this war, or many others that cost the lives of so many soldiers in places that most folks would be hard pressed to point to on a map.
How many kids in the USA have heard of Viet Nam? Korea?
How many kids in UK have heard of Dhofar? Northern Ireland? Kenya?
To them it is boring old stuff in history books.
