# I wonder if England will ever stop for ANZAC day.
You know, that time when you sent out a bunch of Australians to charge over a field to their death to 'create a diversion', and then you fuckers forgot you'd sent the order so they all died in vain.

Excuse me if I don't shed a tear for your incompetent fuckwits.

# ^this
although it isn't just Aussies that British tactical incompetence has killed.

i won't be watching the full march past, but the Australian ambassador is there laying a wreath along with all the other commonwealth representatives, and in past years veterans of most campaigns have been in the march past depending on survival rates and respective ages.

# It's not about glory
simply the remembrance of those who fell or went through it, whatever your political views

"War is terrible, but not as terrible as loosing the will to fight"

Some conflicts must be fought

# The only reason war is necessary is because it exists.
It'd actually be pretty sweet if everyone lost the will to fight at the same time.

# Wow.
Quite the chip you've got on your shoulder.

They didn't just fuck it up for your lot.
My Grandad didn't particularly enjoy it either. His brothers certainly didn't. They're still in Belgium.

# It's a glorification at the very least
Sure, a lot of innocent people were just following orders, but the people that gave the orders are validated by this kind of shit.

# It's a reminder to make the effort not to do it again
or at least to try not to.

If you think it glorifies it you're missing the point.

# Christ
calm geezer; of course we remember those men, and that "raging lion that turned out to be a stranded whale." The first world war was full of fuck ups like that, and whatever your misgivings about the tactics and the squandering of human life, the commonwealth tore the heart out of the German army in the end, and won

that 'diversion' was appalling though

# "Tore the heart out of the German Army"
Not so sure about that, but they did cause mass starvation among the German civilian population by preventing food supplies getting in to the country.

Spiffing.
