Mr Clarkson say’s today we have no comprehension of what a hero is if all we can find is David Beckham for scoring a goal.

…he’s not far wrong is he?

Everyday we read about the yob culture in this country, about gangs of youths who think they’re tough beating up old people and anyone who looks at em the wrong way…..I wonder how they would react in Major Cains shoes.

Perhaps we should bring back National Service and teach em some discipline and respect, but the trouble is we might be contravening their human rights if the nice corporal shouted at them to loud!

If this post sounds cynical it supposed to be, ‘cos that’s the kind of society we now live in, a society where we’d walk past some one who was being beaten up cos we dont wanna get involved, if Major Robert Cain adopted that attitude a lot of soldiers wouldnt have got home alive.

All those guys deserved their VCs, they showed bravery, spirit, and selflessness in the face of enormous adversity.
