they've fixed Johnsond on this one - 'she's of Pakistani heritage' forgetting Pakistan didn't even exist during the war!

No amount of aura farming will get him out of it this time

 

Aura Farming? Nah, this doesn't sound quite right.

Fixed !! by commenting on the blatantly obvious flaw🤷‍♂️ Forgetting what exactly 🤔
 

it seemed to me (wrongly probably as Im usually wrong) that you were trying to say that she is of Pakistani heritage and therefore her ancestors didnt contribute to the war. Steven P couldnt have said x number of Pakstanis died in the war, because it wasnt called Pakistan then

 

 

+6

 

 

 

 

Yes, soldiers from the territory that is now modern-day Pakistan served in World War II, but as part of the British Indian Army, as Pakistan did not become an independent nation until 1947. A significant number of these troops, including Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs, fought in various theaters of the war, making up a crucial component of the largest volunteer army in history. 

Key Points:

• British Indian Army: Before 1947, the region was under British rule, and its inhabitants served in the British Indian Army.
• Volunteer Force: The British Indian Army was the largest volunteer army in history, with 2.5 million men from present-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh volunteering.
• Significant Muslim Contribution: A large proportion of these soldiers were Muslim, with approximately one million Muslims serving and over 87,000 losing their lives.
• Diverse Theaters of War: Troops from this region fought in North Africa, Italy, and the Far East.
• Post-War Division: After the war, many of these servicemen went on to join the newly formed Indian or Pakistani armies after independence.

Exactly this.

Wonder how tricky it can be to understand:

WW2: 1939 to 1945

Pakistan created 1947.

Suspect JohnsonD will not be saying "Oh, yeah, made a mistake there"
