mtread I never mentioned WW2 you were just making your usual assumptions. I said battle fields and soldiers from all over the world. Including European soldiers fighting for their freedom from tyranny. Perhaps you had conveniently forgot the Napoleonic wars of the late 1700s and early 1800s the first world war and WW2 and probably a few more skirmishes I have forgotten.
Then I don't understand the point and what comparison you are making?
What about all the English despots, and soldiers from all over the world, including within the UK, fighting their tyranny?
