Although my son did not fight on the front line as he was a communications engineer - he was still at risk. The whole experience gave me a great deal of respect for those that died and for those that risk their lives.

Of course people have a right to an opinion - but they should be mindful when that subject is something they don't really know much about and should be more tactful about expressing such potentially offensive opinions.

Do they have any understanding of the hurt and upset they could cause to someone on here who might have actually lost a son, daughter, mother, father etc.
