It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I, German, British, and French soldiers disobeyed their superiors and fraternized with "the enemy" along two-thirds of the Western Front (a crime punishable by death in times of war). German troops held Christmas trees up out of the trenches with signs, "Merry Christmas."
"You no shoot, we no shoot." Thousands of troops streamed across a no-man's land, they sang Christmas carols, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared rations, played football, even roasted some pigs. Soldiers embraced men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if the top brass forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.

We should honor all services as this pic shows there is even friendship between enemies at any time.
Pipes of peace by paul mccartney was based on that match it was also the first time that british troops had heard the carol silent night or Selent nacht in german that is still my favourite carol

But never spoke about it.With trading.I am not rounded on subject but thought about trading thru stronger currencies and or exchange rates to boost returns.Without agents dipping into revenue companies earn.Hope this makes sense and apologies for crap responses of late.

I was one of those called up for Consription during the Vietnam era. Was lucky enough to avoid the draft because I was studying at the time - made me pass some of those exams or I would have been drafted.
A lot of guys I have met over the years were not as lucky. When the USA pulled out, ever other country involved had to do the same because they could not manage something on this scale. Even the French Foreign Legion could not cope (they had been trying before the Yanks got involved).
I do believe that those that participated on the direction of thier Govt, and then left out in the cold have suffered, need to be recognised for what they did and have subsequently suffered for the directions their Govt gave them.
