I think it would be most people’s cup of tea Grannyclaret. What you feel is pride in your armed forces and patriotism for your country. And guess what? We had it before the Yanks. I think we should be more like the Americans in this respect. They don’t quiver and hide at the thought of upsetting a few foreigners or immigrants irrespective of the race, religion or culture by flying there Flag or parading their forces, “although they do tend to do it in someone else’s country more often than not” lol. I think the must ardent sceptic, pc numpty or anti establishment a*** h*** would swell with pride at seeing British Troops parading……….I do!
