I know exactly what you mean. War is a dirty business - and yes, I do mean business.

But, I don't go to the cenotaph to honour the politicians that made the decisions, I go every year to say my own thanks to the people that died and the families they left behind.

Remembrance Sunday for me is a poignant and sad, sometimes distressing time, but whatever the motives of the politicians, those that died believed it was necessary and I honour their sacrifice.
