Thread: Respect for our Fallen

yeah alls good but the ending I cant stand country even like ours that stop doing there thing with no one asking of them to do so then place the blame on that very race culture and religion

Xmas year before last happy holidays rather then marry xmas, you know people get some balls about you and say what you mean and celebrate what you want

or morons that believe the crap about war on terror

sorry it gets up my nose yes I'm Muslim I eat pork I root at least one a week a drink grog married a good Anglo girl and believe or not she isn't converted

THERE I'm glad thats of my chest whats next

Thanks Hogdo

That is an awesome powerpoint!

Wish every country was like that

Cheers

Sorry I should say the same but what we should wish for is that country dont go to war so our sons of our nation dont fall and the world stands together united not ripping in to each other for oil nation stopping to salute a dead doesnt stop a mother or father morning

Very patriotic the Canadians and that is an amazing display of it.

Hak, i don't think that the message at the end is a racist statement, just a statement about having respect for a solder.

A solder should not be made to feel bad about wearing his or her uniform, and making a solder remove his uniform because it may offend is just disrespectful towards that solder whether they be Christian or Muslim.

Absolutely, Baz.

If I was a soldier, I wouldn't remove my uniform to avoid offending anyone. (BTW, is that Bairmingham in the UK or in Alabama, USA?)

I'd like to see the same parade and show of respect for our fallen soldiers. Our state govts. wouldn't allow it.

Birmingham Hospital is in UK there was an incident reported in UK papers about soldiers being treated for injuries tor emove military uniform so as to to offend muslim staff etc as UK has closed down its specialist military hospitals as part of MOD defence cutting cost exercise.

As for treating fallen soldiers with respect l think the funerals for recent deceased Australian soldiers on tour overseas where PM and leader Opposittion fronted were signs of adequate National respect.

The Queensland government closed off part of the CBD for three hours. Members of the public lined the street to show their respects.

A military funeral is a time to show respect for, and to thank a member of our armed forces who died doing his duty for our country. It is not a time for flag waving jingoism, or an opportunity to show how patriotic one is.

I may have misunderstood this. Is that your view of the Canadian effort?
