What does that have to do with what I just said? I am proud of my country. I made no indication that I was proud of my contribution to Britian (which would be pretty arrogant as i'm only 20 and am not at an age where I can make a significant contribution). I realy have no idea what you were getting at with that statement. @ LGB: I'm sorry you feel that way. You obviosly have you're reasons. Edit: On reflecting on what I just said I realise that joining the army is sizeable contribution that can be made at my age. What I meant was that in a scientific, political, economic, ect.. Way
