Two's in...
You have just about summed up what the vast majority of Armed Forces personnel feel about our Queen and the politicians who drive us.
Your sentiments are clearly a reflection as to how American society views their own Forces - with pride and gratitude.
I wish I'd said what you just said - it encapsulates my feelings exactly!
And I really wish you'd remove your fence-sitting apology and warning - your post certainly DOES NOT contain nuts!
Thank you.
