George Orwell also had something to say about our service heroes;

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

AHHhh, my good man, Mr Orwell did not quite say that. He DID say in writing about Rudyard Kipling, that his “grasp of function, of who protects whom, is very sound. He sees clearly that men can only be highly civilized while other men, inevitably less civilized, are there to guard and feed them.” (1942)...but it inevitably is the thought that counts.
