I suspect NO politician ever knows what war is like, unless they have been there or had family members there. This lot of so called peoples representatives have NO idea of danger or service to their Country, just what they can get out of it for themselves. They do not remember JFK's words, 'Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your Country' maybe they should reflect on his words and learn a lesson, a country is only as strong as those who defend it.
Whatever you may feel about Her Majesty, her family have been there done that and got a 'T' shirt. At least they can look the bereaved and wounded in the face and say 'There but for the grace of God go I'
