We'll Have No More 'Tommy Atkins'

'We'll Have No More Tommy Atkins'. Rudyard Kiplings wrote the poem 'Tommy' in 1890 to wax lyrical about the plight of young men of any war, who were treated shabbily by their governments and the general populace, who lauded them when they went off to be killed, but treated them like pariahs when they returned home.... Those that returned home, that is. Are we right to treat some sectors of society as pariahs?   / mollytowers   buymeacoffee.com/primalengland
