Depending on your age, you might remember the glares, even visual examinations, some men received when they came back from the fields, deserts and jungles of World War Two, perhaps even closer to home in time, the Falklands’ War, the sacrifices made on both sides of the divide in Ireland, any conflict where the senseless of killing another human being for being in a different coloured uniform is brought home in the eyes of the affected and the screams that burn into the hearts of their loved ones; these are the memories of the sneer, the accusations of somehow being less of man just because you don’t want to die.
