Katherine...If you don't get it, why many others download "war documentaries"
you never will. There is nothing sanctamonious in wanting to understand why
human beings treat each other the way they do, and recent events in Paris and
USA have shown people don't learn. I apologise for telling you to F**k off,
but you need to realise, not everyone is gung-ho John Wayne blood and guts
aficionado's. Every 11th of November for the past twenty years i have travelled
to the Menin Gate in Ypres to pay my respects to my great grandfather and the
many thousands slaughtered in WW1 and WW2 and i take it as an insult that you
judge me and anyone else downloading documentaries as being sanctamomious. YOU
can't dictate what and who downloads or uploads anything or their purpose for
doing that, simply don't download and DO NOT judge people you know nothing
about....it will only serve others to judge you...chill out.
