ts a funny old world isn't it? I would imagine that if I posted a picture on the WITPAE thread or even the General Discussion thread of USS Arizona blowing up, or the last minutes USS Houston or USS Quincy, and showed this in a mocking way, I would (and quite rightly so) be slaughtered. Threadsters of all nationalities - but particularly, and understandably, Amercian - would have taken me to task for displaying such an image in a frivoulous manner. And yet... Picture of the last moment of HMS Barham, HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales are posted in mocking terms without so much as a passing comment from anyone... Just thought I'd mention that I think that is shocking. Really hacked off that no one thought to post that those images were in bad taste. Where have all the decent people gone? Thanks a lot guys..... My Lord, I wasnt mocking them by any stretch. I am citing their Glorious Courage & Martyrdom in all of their stalwart Radiance so that they wont be forgotten. Perhaps I got a little too wind-up about it. I now understand this is a sensitive issue for you so I offer my condolences. After all, many of my people come from the UK too.
