11:00 11/11

In this commemorative post I would like to bring to attention the people who have died in wars so that we can sit here on the internet in comfortable chairs.

I have always had a respect for the armed forces, partly because a fair few of my family members are in them, but mostly because anyone who doesn't is an ignorant half-wit. Whether war should happen or not is irrelevant, but the people who form the forces are willing to give the ultimate sacrifice for people who possibly will never hear of them. Such selflessness is not often found, and is to be revered.

And so, at precisely 11:00, on the 11th of the 11th - right now, in fact - we should all just take a couple of minutes to remember them. So stop reading this tripe, and remember.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.
