That whole poppy thing

So, to fund this organisation you need to glorify what constitutes your part in what is easily the biggest war crime in your history?

Seriously, Hazir. Give it a rest.

I realise it can seem like I'm just taking a piss out of the Brits, but I do actually feel quite strong about that whole glorification thing that's going on about war in general and World War I in particular. I think it's hard to find a war in our history which was started over less spurrious reasons that that particular one. And then when the massive crime got started it was led by people of whom it's hard to tell which lives they disregarded more; those of their enemies or those of their own soldiers.

And then I am reminded of how people in the UK have this pressure thing going on about this glorification. It's quite something. And the Brits are the only ones doing it.
