Of course, lefties will never understand because you're all lazy cowards and instinctively hate your own country.

No offence, like.

To be fair, berni once admitted to me that he would not die for the Colours, so it seems the Irish are just as bad as lefties.
No, I dont think there is a great deal of glory in being blown to bits in a field. A notion such as honour serves its purpose in persuading young working class men to submit to slaughter as an alternative to being shot for running away.

I dont belittle the sacrifice, or the bravery of individuals. I do shrink from describing it as glorious.
