I have been on some weekend trips with our local branch of the Fleet Air Arm to Dorset and part of the weekend usually involves going to a church service at the Fleet Air Arm church - I usually find myself in the small graveyard there and the ages on gravestones from recent conflicts like Iraq and the Falklands reveal that young men and women are still willing to give up their lives for their country.
