I really don't understand how people can be so bitter.
My view is that as long as a dive is done with respect and dignity to those who gave their lives - it helps to keep their memory alive whilst we remember those that paid the ultimate sacrifice to ensure we live free today.
I see no difference between paying our respects at a grave side, war memorials, in place like Flanders Fields at sites of other battles or beneath the waves where brave men gave their lives for their countries.
Me too but non divers don't seem to be able to understand this, somehow they can't see the similarity between the two.
