    Our fighting men have provided the freedom for free speech which allows the OP to make this statement. So, as a former fighting man I cannot object to anything the poster says even though my opinions are different. What I would say is that in previous generations men like the OP were referred to as "Conscientious objectors" and given a special place in the armed forces as stretcher bearers and medics. They saved 10's of thousands of lives. In my considered opinion then we should wear our poppy to commemorate these men too and thank them for their sacrifice. Next time you wear your poppy think of the thousands who didn't want to fight but gave their all for the benefit of others.

      Thanks for your comment,and I respect others views,because all opinions are based on what we experience and have learnt.I am gang stalked/community mobbed because of who I am,which gives me a different perspective on whats happening in the world.I dont wear a poppy,because I refuse to consent in any form the killing of man by man.My government runs a covert agenda,along with the USA government and others round the world,to harass in many forms innocent people.I will never be part of these people.

      Wearing a poppy doesn't indicate consent to killing however. It commemorates the fallen. End of story. What you think your government or any other government does has nothing to do with the act of remembrance.

      Whichever way you look at it,renaging on a promise to men putting their lives on the line is despicable.I know words wont change this,but Im so sorry about the loss of your wife.Thanks for commenting.
