There are many good films to remind us - Operation Mincemeat, Darkest Hour, and my favorite Dunkirk, all of them about courage, fear, loss and great leadership. Like Ukraine. May it never happen again.
-Removed-Very well explained and what an operation. Can’t help but feel the greatest admiration for all of those involved as most were so very young. It seemed the right thing to do at the time, seems everyone felt it was necessary? The accounts of those involved who are still alive are very moving, they speak in words conveying what was their sense of duty and loyalty.
It’s a different world now. My son’s reaction to the possible reintroduction of national service, IF the Conservatives win the election, is one of anger stating that he has no intention of getting dragged into a war because of the UK government’s allegiance with the US and their undying loyalty to Israel. As for defending his homeland if the need arose? He’d be there in a shot!

Let’s hope Congress gives Ukraine the resources to defend itself so we don’t have to mount another D-Day ten years down the road.
@Great-Big-Stees saidAs long as men believe in war as the solution, it is not likely to change. Many young lives and promising futures ending that way.
As long as man is around there will be wars. SAD but true…history always repeats itself. Remember after WW1 (The war to end all wars). OMG this is not at all like me…is it?😲

No need to apologise. It is good to remember the brave lads who landed on the beaches. A few are still alive today.
I merely wanted to call attention to the fact that a lot goes on the background, too.
