Kaiser? :think:
Yeah, you know...Adolf Mussolini.
When I was a young hippie traveling around the Arab world (smoking a lot of dope!) I hooked up with some some young Arab guys in Morocco for a couple of days, was invited to their house for a meal etc. They liked me because I was British and 'helped Hitler try to kill all the Jews'. :ddpan:

I tried to explain but I didn't get very far.

Best not to try to explain, I imagine.

Nothing wrong with remembering those who risks their lives or died for their country which this memorial is about but thats a different matter to celebrate their or anyone elses ability at killing. What they did may have been neccessary but that doesnt make it a good thing just something that needed to be done
When only criminals carry guns the police know exactly who to shoot!

It was Winston Churchill and Arthur Harris who were the real war criminals.

The bomber crews were "just obeying orders".

Where have I heard that before?
