• Se agradecer pelo serviço deve ter significado político

Noah interviewed five veterans from three countries about what happened to them after they left the services. Alongside what he learned from them, he compares how Britain and the United States regard the people who have served, and asks whether thanking someone for their service has to mean anything about politics at all. Noah is a Year 12 pupil at King's College School, Wimbledon. He is studying the International Baccalaureate, taking Philosophy, French, and Economics at higher level, and Mathematics, Physics, and Literature and Performance at standard level. He rows for King's and is also a member of the school's Combined Cadet Force, where he was recently promoted to corporal. He hopes to go to university in the United States, and has not yet decided which subject he would like to major in.
