Remembrance Sunday

Sometimes things drop into popular culture so far that you lose their perspective
You lose their sense. Like a word repeated over and over so it begins to sound silly.
Especially when something might be culturally senstive and you are British.
Which I is.
So when you meet a German, why exactly is it that WE can't mention the war again?
Why would that be? I just can't think of a reason. I can understand why they wouldn't mention it.
But WE didn't start it and WE won!
I don't get it.
Is it so we don't hurt anyone's feelings?
Wouldn't that be a terrible national shame?
Mention it today.
It's the least we owe.
