Nathan i guess the point is you infact have to direct , degrade and obolish the idiots in command in the cases you mention. 

But Having a shot in a whitewash attempt, hits at the poor little bloke who at the time thought he was doing the right thing, and in a culture of white feather felt they needed to go.  Anzac day celebrates the gift these mums and dads gave... 

it does not set about to idolise the stupidity at the top and the heirarchy of Dumbness, thats a given. I think most people are smart enought to seperate the reason why they are interested.  Most people understand the mistakes made in those and other wars, and still hate the fact they ran them up the beach to there death for a piece of dirt.

I think you forget people do get it, and are celebrating the beliefs of the foot soldier not the action of war itself

Freaky, good post (who typed it for you?!).
I'm all for ANZAC Day to remember those that sacrificed and those that were willing to sacrifice.
 But my support runs out when the day is used as a shallow, jingoistic excuse for bogan-spec nationalism, as it seems to becoming. As I said earlier, a significant part of ANZAC Day is recognising our failures - and specifically recognising that those failures had a significant human cost.
The hiding behind the trite Americanism of "disrespecting those that served" as an excuse to stifle discussion is something that particularly irks me.

I'm still intrigued to know what offended Alistair so, but no doubt he'll refuse to elaborate, because it will reveal that he didn't actually read the article...

I get your point, but jeez..." If you disagree, then say nothing" is very 1984.

Late Edit: I swear I don't know the guy, but he's just posted this. If the previous offended AJ for reasons he can't explain, then this will send him off the edge.

Luke, i am seeing where you are coming from, you dont hate the ANZACS's you just hate WAR!

Please, we all hate WAR, and nothing glorifies it! ANZAC day, is a day to remember the fallen, and a chance for those who were fortunate enough to survive a chance to see their comrades and so share time with those who will only understand their way of thinking, nothing glorifies WAR. But to disrespect them buy the way your comments come across only infiltrates most people.

you need to explain your self better!!!

You need to take into consideration what these men went through, some, not by choice! give them the respect they deserve! they were the ones that gave you the ability to have your opinion!

We have all had family touched buy a WAR some way or another, you are not alone! and the world does not revolve around you!

END OF CONVERSATION, PLEASE!

This picture was recently sent to me by a friend in Belgium. They are "Kiwis who stayed in my Uncles house for a while in 1918 after they liberated our town from occupation". Apparently the family stayed in touch for many years.He has lots of pictures like this.

Thinking of the ANZACS and especially my grandfather who are doing the march this morning, so happy the
rain has gone away and its a clear blue sky here on the east coast.

Drizzely rain here in Clare for this morning's Dawn Service.

A very good turn out considering the weather and the fact that Clare is a small country town.

Sad to hear of the passing of a few more of the old time vets during the past year, but a lot more of the Veitnam Vets are comimg out and getting the respect that they deserve. Also a few more of the resent ex services and Iraq vets like myself have started to appear.

Probably the best service for a long while, a long on respect and honour, short on religion.

For all those Servicemen and Servicewomen that served in all wars but didn't make it home and for all those who came home affected for life by their service,

We will never forget
