I don't disagree with you, look at England now.
If the government can't protect the borders then the people don't have a country.
But these same governments have been undermining things in other peoples neck of the woods.

Armcchair Critic,
So much education & good will & general enlightenment gone into these countries has done nothing & obviously never will !

If by "public display" includes those idiotic hero WW2 American & British war movies then yes, I support this but otherwise no, particularly if it is done in jest !

Hi AC,

"If the government can't protect the borders then the people don't have a country."

The conditions of today have not developed by accident, its a case of "cause and affect", the sins of British colonialism are now coming home to haunt them. I had a cage full of angry dogs, ones I baited and abused everyday, things were fine while I kept the cage secured. Oh sh!t! someone left the cage door open, and the savage dogs are out, and they're coming after me. Its not my fault!
