You will be saying that BP paid some people from the Middle East to take flying lessons and take one way passage to the Twin Towers next.
As for the way we treat our dead serviceman, thats our business, no one is saying they are heroes, if people want to call them heroes thats fine by me.
They died wearing their countries uniforms, following orders that were given to them, that is sufficient. If someone wants to honour servicemen who fell in the line of duty thats a good thing. Doesnt matter whether they were heroes or not.
A good mutual example would be the dead of WW1, from both Britain and Ireland, lions led by donkeys etc oh and WW2 in fact there was, in fact no not was is still men from the Republic of Ireland wearing the uniform of the Queen. Would you be calling them men traitors then?

I like debating with you. Maybe it's because you're the only one doing it.

That's a no-brainer.
Lots of irish men died fighting for the King. As many from the rrepublic as from the North. They thought they'd be rewarded with an independent Ireland. Chris Moyle's grandad (BBC) was one of them.
I think it is wrong that British service men and women think they are fighting tyranny and terrorism, whereas in reality they are fighting for oil.
