This week has seen the anniversary of the sinking of HMS Coventry on 25th May 1982 with the loss of 19 of her crew and another 30 injured.
It was a sad end to a proud ship and even greater loss to the families of those who will never return to the United Kingdom.
Perhaps, just perhaps the next time a politician decides that the United Kingdom is going to be embroiled in a war they should stand and make the announcement at the National Arbotereum so that everyone will understand exactly what the human cost is going to be.
