Respect

From The Scotsman:

THE six young soldiers from the Black Watch eased the coffin from the hearse and lifted it, draped in a Union flag, on to their shoulders.

As the pall bearers made their way slowly into the church, the crowd of mourners who had gathered to pay their respects to 20-year-old Private Jamie Kerr fell silent.


Pte Kerr was killed by a roadside bomb in the Iraqi city of Basra on Thursday, 28 June; he was the 154th British serviceman and the eighth member of the Black Watch to die in the conflict.

Yet for several in the comments section, the flag his coffin’s been draped in is the main topic of debate.
Morons.
