Armed Forces Day is an invention of the Blair Government, which speaks for itself.
Remembrance Sunday was already there, in the way that the Legion was already there before the strange emergence of Help for Heroes, also under Blair.
Frankly, that seems to be a campaigning organisation for an interventionist foreign policy and for the commercial interests of the arms trade, while today's newfangled shenanigans seem to be held in the same dubious cause.
Save these things for November, and take them back to their original meaning even then.
As always, you say what everyone else has been thinking. Keep up the good work.
