You are an Australian aren't you???? Enjoy your beers on ANZAC DAY.
As are the 1000's of Australian Italians who migrated here after WWII. Not to mention copious amounts of Japanese women who wed diggers.
War does crazy things to people, It was the Ideal's of the countries leaders, not necessarily the people. Don't go to war? Die with the Jews, Pols and the rest of them in concentration camps was a perfect example.
For me, ANZAC day is a day to not only remember the ANZACs who 'delivered us from evil' but to also acknowledge those who lost their lives at WWI, WWI, vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, IRAQ, the list goes on. Not to get into a drunken mess and throw blame on those who took their lives. Remember, we returned and initiated fire and left just as many widows in our wake too.
Lest we forget all......
