There is no “conversation” to have.
I am a British Army veteran, and I would never fight to the death for this government, its politicians, or their “plans”.
I would, however, absolutely fight to the death defending my home, my family and my country.
And if that means standing on my own doorstep, refusing to be carted off to fight somebody else’s war, then so be it.
Russia is NOT our enemy. The real threat is already here. I, and every other veteran I’ve spoken with, will be staying on home soil, thank you very much.
