Hitler never invaded the UK--he invaded Poland first then the rest of Western Europe. The UK was never threatened. Churchill send unemployed men (the economy wasnt that great) to die for his glory.

Same with the Korean War. Atlee send unemployed men to die for nothing; North Korea did not threaten the UK. Should have negotiated "joint sovereignty".

Same with the first Gulf War--Thatcher and later Major sent men to die for nothing.

But wait, Atlee was Labour....
