It's like when they ask a class of 14 year olds if they have had full sex, done drugs and got drunk. 90% say 'Yes, all of them, last night!' and whoever's running the survey goes off on one about how we are failing young people today. It's rubbish. I personally didn't have full sex, do drugs or got drunk until I was 15 and 3/4. Nail on the head there.

Colonel Gibson added: ''Watching War Movies can bring out mixed emotions in everyone - nostalgia, sadness and a huge respect for everyone who has ever fought in a war.

”Of the 75,000 veterans we have cared for many remember with startling alacrity the horrors of WWII and most importantly the unsung heroes of those dark days.”

Ah..
