Seeing today's UK, British WW2 vets wonder if their struggle was worth it. (HT: Instapundit.)
The only Brit politician they have a good word for is the late anti-immigration Enoch Powell.
What does the Queen think? Not that she would say...but, as Elizabeth Windsor, she was a volunteer too.
(IMO today's decadence does not compare with Nazi rule, but the vets' bitterness is understandable. Decadence is decadence, and it must be heartbreaking to witness it after experiencing the crucible of WW2.)
Update 20100604. Surely those Brits didn't regret fighting Hitler. Their disillusionment came because they were fighting for something good, not just against something evil.
