Qualifications now there's subject you love to brag about. No I don't have a 'veterans degree' just plenty off stories and opinions from my 20+ family members who all lived through the war. My great uncle George died in the battle of Normandy. Two of my uncles were evacuated from Dunkirk. One of them would never speak about his experiences, he was machine gunned by a German plane whilst wading out to a boat. My granddad was part of the Italian campaign. My uncle John was one of the first people into Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
As you can imagine none of them ever had much time for the Germans and I don't mean just Nazis. So no they wouldn't be offended by the bomber song. The drunken lads on Saturday did not ask to be, nor should they be, compared to war veterans. Others on here have decided to take the thread on that point scoring tangent.
By the way you were the one saying bombing German cities was a war crime a while back on another thread. Now I can say on behalf of all my family that they would be ashamed by your comments but not by the lads on Saturday.
But you can accuse people of playing a 'racist' card when no mention was made ?
Interesting logic.
