Having an opinion on what they were fighting for, then, also is down to each individual.

And of course, our soldiers lives were no less precious when they got sent to Northern Ireland, Falklands, Bosnia, Afghanistan Iraq and a whole lot more. All these soldiers joined the forces believing they would fight the good fight for the freedom of their country. Some of those fights were a lot more recent than the 2nd world war. Most of us have family or know of people who fought in these wars.
