I'm sure there's a fair bit of that but it seems like organisers are ex soldier cunts with what's left of their hearts in the right place, mass events always turn up some outlier dickheads, angry shouty cunts on CM or pervy nudists on WNBR etc. Whilst I share some of the hired killer sentiment there's 15 years between the end of WW2 and 1960, and after that there's been plenty of poor kids offered promises of a better life in the military and then trained to be shits, I don't agree with it but remembering those who've died, even if they do so in shitty circumstance being sent to kill people that should also be remembered isn't a bad thing, glorifying it is. Remembering the loss of life and horror of war, and hopefully at some point the arseholes the British have been whilst at it should be encouraged to avoid more of it happening in the future. I'm not supporting the bunch of ex squaddy bikers but I'm not against them doing this.
