Passing of a Yid

[Kendall]

As I said, and I should have added "inevitably", "cue... the usual suspects." Congratulations Anna on being first out of the traps. This is not the thread but just to correct one thing: the Afghans they're fighting are the Taliban and if you really, honestly, consider the Taliban to be as equally "heroic", then perhaps you should learn at least a little something about their beliefs, attitude to women, and, oh yes, to sport (clue: they want all sport banned as it's considered "indulgent and frivolous").
Actually... forget it. I really can't be arsed with such, as you so eloquently put it, bullshit.

You're the one who egged people on to do it in the first place. You needn't have said anything, but by saying what you did you trivialise other peoples' views and encourage people to speak up for themselves.

Kendall, I agree with ya buddy, but careful fella, no know the tight line you walk mate.

I feel for all the loved ones of anyone who dies in a conflict, anywhere in the world, no matter what their affiliations or political views and whether they are wearing a uniform or are innocent civilians caught up in the mayhem that war inevitably causes.

In this case, it was a young man who supported our team who died and that, essentially, is what this thread should be about. It would be respectful to keep it on that track and if that can't happen, perhaps the thread should be locked and this young soldier's brief life remembered and honoured in an appropriate manner.
