Seconded the view that those in the UK will be diverted from primary tasks and made to do trite pish in the name of us having an Armed Forces Day/Weekend etc etc.

Oh how the British Military jumped with joy to get a special day. Can't we just be appreciated with decent discounts and a cheery wave when in uniform? Oh no - that would cost someone something - lets get together and do something that gets headline inches for politicians and lets us get accepted for one day a year, then put away again.
