My reply to this is:
Again, again, again!!!!!
Anyone can attack what we on this side of the ponds hold dear and important
to our heritage and we are condemned for speaking out.
Have any of you ever attended a funeral of someone who was KILLED IN ACTION
and their remains returned home several years later for burial?  I have  The
sight and sound in that cemetery of the bugler blowing TAPS with an
answering bugler blowing TAPS as an echo is a sight and sound you will never
forget.
I remember seeing the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on tv.  While I do
not agree with your tradition of a monarchy I do not criticize you for your
posting during the jubilee.  How about showing us the same respect.
