Oh and the once a year Poppy.

The war ended ages ago.

Many severely injured war veterans are still alive and need looking
after. That costs money.

And do you really believe that should be left to a charity?

No, but since the state won't, somebody has to.

Yup. Which is why the annual performance at the Cenotaph makes me so
uneasy. Goverment dignitaries remembering those 'who gave their lives for
us' while doing their best to ignore those who were merely maimed, but
live on.

They arent ignored, they are entitled to use the NHS, just like everyone
else is.
