As tempted as I am to get involved it the debate about the moral side of this issue I don't think this is the time or place.
Seeing the pictures and reading the report in my electronic issue of the telegraph I can only express my total respect for those in Bomber Command who each time they got into an aircraft faced such long odds.
I also have a lot of respect for those who erected the memorial in the face of opposition from those PC types who have no idea of the price of the fredom that they enjoy.
