My mother, …… She had the grace to apologise after the Falklands War.
Your mother had nothing to apologise for. The Armed Forces of the UK at the time of the Falklands, we’re 100% volunteer. Trained well and ready to fight, even if some of the kit left something to be desired. There was no requirement to call up the wider population for a major war.
And that was 40 years ago.
The demography of the UK, has changed significantly since then.
