You act like I follow this shit Dim.

Why do people on both sides with the whole poppy shit go puts on head retarded.

I just know the white one was getting attention for all the wrong reasons hence why I said I should get one.

What

It's just a plastic flower

Wear it if you want or not

But the meaning behind it.

Yes I know

What’s the meaning?

It's all about that secret meaning.

Ah

It's a British thing anyhow, not really done in Ireland.

<#418503004434726912>

Okay.

hmm

What a British thing?

Respecting the dead with poppies

Not the dead but soldiers who've died.

From about WW1 onwards.

Yup it's for remembrance as poppies tended to grow around battlefields after the war due to the blood.... could be complete shit but that is what I was told

Remembering fallen soldier just seems like a respect thing

nah its a disrespect thing after we just take a fat dump on em but the left dosent show you that

Seriously I'm American, I dont agree with every war we've been in but those who die were still people with families that cared about them and its respectful to pay homage.

I mean it's a bit different when the soldiers were literally murdering unarmed civillians in the streets...

The most important thing to remember is that Soldiers =/= the organisation or country that sent them to effectively scar themselves for life.

yeah in the uk we do it to current and former soilders luckilly as far as im aware none of my family have died in any major wars

@lolfire umm have you not read about American wars we have our fair share of atrocities

War..... War never changes

Yeah I know, that's just why I think generalised support is a bad idea.

@Octavia shhhh don’t admit it

Were the “good guys”

@lolfire true it's a fine line between nationalism and support

Fact is anyone involved in a war directly loses. whether it's their family, their lives or their homes it still ruins them.

It's just really sad soldiers aren't give proper support after coming home from war.

Where?

"war" is wrong word "service" fits better

Where are they not given proper support?

seeing death, lack of empathy and ruined lives fucks with your brain

doesn't matter if it happens to you or not it still fucks with you

it really can

PTSD is a bitch
