Who speaks for the dead ?

The families and loved ones whom they left behind.


Not sure how that can be misinterpreted but it seems to have been.

I don't want some F***tard Political or Military figure claiming they speak for the dead. Giving speeches of "worthy sacrifice" when to them it is just cannon fodder and in many cases financial benefit to those higher up the food chain because they refused to provide equipment fit for purpose.

Any attempt at questioning how money supposedly spent on equipment has "disappeared" never gets highlighted with a compliant media and any parent demanding answers gets patronised as "suffering from grief" etc while those made wealthy just count their wealth.

Hell we just look at how nuch money was made on military housing yet it is still in many cases not fit for purpose.

I am happy with a robust Defence but question what part of Defense is it to be involved in dismembering countries to assist resource grabs by big business. Basically UK forces are someone elses Mercaneries, supposedly to protect UK is the line constantly spun but gave up believing that decades ago.

Watching and seeing body bags come home and mass migration because of these policies you wonder what kind of evil exists in the corridors of power.
