Must‘ve been a pain in the arse to park those jet fighters like that.
There can’t be many stronger symbols of war than an aircraft carrier. Doesn’t feel a fitting backdrop for a poppy.
They may as well have slapped one on the side of a nuke.
This is tragic.
*”The poor go to war, to fight and die for the delights, riches, and superfluities of others.”*
This feels a little tone deaf, in a very “Monty Python” style of irony. It’s almost unintentionally comedic.
Lest we ever forget the unnecessary waste of millions of lives lost during the horrors of war. By painting our shiny more efficient weapons in remembrance!
We have forgotten.
Hard to forget when it’s on a fucking warship.
Size of that fk’n thing.
It is impressive.
We will never forget, history is told to kids, every year, the problem IS PEOPLE DONT FUCKING LEARN! And its always a march to the next stupid war where the poor die and the rich pretend they care and arms company makes billions.
I have seen bigger poppies plastered on peoples cars in Essex.
Absolutely beautiful ship.
Surely that poppy is Photoshopped on anyway. I guess they didn’t paint the fighter planes red for the day.
Crew chief painting a F35 pink, knowing he is going to have to scrub it all off tomorrow
At least it’s better than KFC’s attempt
The comments here are actually insane. It’s like people don’t know that all weapons are deterrents first and foremost – it shows that you aren’t defenseless.
As the saying goes ‘If you wish for peace, prepare for war’.
Flanders Fields
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
ITT- people who haven’t got a fucking clue what remembrances day is about or what it means to those who served past and present
this comment section is fucking bizarre.
Its simply Royal navy sailors showing respect to those that came before them. If you asked any ww2 vet and said it was silly for them to do this, i think you would get a chuckle out of them.
The poppy is not anti war. Its about remembering the sacrifices of men and woman in past wars that defended our freedom.
Of course those currently serving also want to show that. This commend section is bloody dumb.
This is serving personnel remembering their fallen comrades. You lot moaning here are something special.
I am absolutely disgusted by what some people who have no clue about history or international security put in the comments. Remembering people who sacrificed THEIR lives so YOU can enjoy the free speech, just so you can crap on them. Shame on you.
The comment section on here is a disgrace, you haven’t served and never will. No surprise because this sub is of course filled with far-left anti-establishment losers. If you don’t recognise the need for a credible and equipped military in the wake of the Ukraine crisis and an increasingly unstable world, you are deluded and maybe need a reality check. Be grateful you live in a secure country.
