This seems pretty stupid. If it's the 'last' battle, then by definition, we're all wiped out and fighting is useless. Unless it's some religious construct, in which case, I'dve thought the proper response was to be all peaceful and holy or something like that.
So to all those in the north arming themselves for the 'last battle', I suggest you take a chill pill and get back in touch with reality.
For someone who doesn't care about other people's posts and just states his opinions Leigh, you get awfully tetchy when criticised. It's always good for a hoot, but you might want to try relaxing sometimes. You'll live longer to grace us with your consistently vitriolic posts.
When I saw the blurb for this piece, my reaction was bemusement. The actual article wasn't quite the naive piece I thought it would be, but it still had its flaws. It did speak somewhat realistically about some threats though and made some pretty good points when highlighting the absence of commentary regarding nuclear threats and so forth.
