Jock , I respect your opinions here on this forum and I always look forward to your advice and knowledge . However , you are dead wrong on this last statement .

There is no shortage of US citzens honoring their ancestor's military career , as a matter of fact , that honoring runs just as deep and far reaching here in the US as it does in the UK.

The majority of us ( regardless of what you see in the media ) observe the same reverence , respect and honor of our ancestor's military careers as well as the current military with great appreciation and respect for the past .

When speaking on being relaxed about respecting ancestor's military careers .... there are just as many examples of that in the UK as there are in the US .

No offense meant here at all , I will always value your input , but with all due respect , I think you are incorrect with your last statement .
