So did thousands of other people in that war and it is terrible part of the worlds history but COME ON! It was 60 ish years ago!

Much as I agree with your other comments and I do understand your point of view. You being an 80's child this may seem an eternity ago to you but there are those of us who had to grow up with the immediate aftermath of WW11 and the war widow aunts and relations. The hardship,poverty,lack of housing and food rationing up till 1954 may all be history to you but a part of life for me. 60 years is a long time when you are young but please remember that this 60 years of relevant peace is due to the people who gave their lives so that you could have the life you have today.
This although a reply to your post is NOT directed at you, but just a reminder to us all and I seriously hope than the younger generation can look back on their 60 years and not have the heartbreak and deprivation that a WW can bring.
