Haka For Lost Soldier

[EcclesCake]

This isn't exactly news hence posting in CB.

A friend has just posted it on FB and I thought it was really quite beautiful and touching.

ttfn - no, you're not alone.

[EcclesCake]

Mmm, I think I have been misunderstood, very, very much misunderstood. I just wanted to share something that I thought was quite beautiful.

No worries. If my OH comes home in a box he wont receive a Haka, just a stiff procession. I know which I would prefer.

[ttfn]

Not at all, Eccles - purely a question of personal preference, I assure you x

[EcclesCake]

I am clearly missing something here and I would really appreciate being enlightened. I have no particular side on this but do very much dislike sleight of hand comments that don't get revealed at the end.

I can understand it if it's personal to you Eccles. It just doesn't do the same for me. :)

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I don't think my comment comes under sleight of hand Eccles but if it does I'd be more than happy to explain.

[EcclesCake]

Mojo, my comments were not specifically directed at you. I'm not sure I quite grasp your point though given this is a clip of service personnel respecting their fallen brethren.

I don't question how personnel get into operations, not all are service personnel some are civilians but they are all doing an amazing job.

Thank you Eccles.
I don't have anyone in the armed forces and I would be horrified if I did.
Maybe I would feel differently if I felt that their deaths were for a decent cause but I'm sorry, I can't feel that way.
With that in mind, I respect your feelings and I'll bow out of this thread :)
