Rembrance Day - Lest we forget
Nov 11^th, 2018 at 2:34pm

Attended the local Remembrance Day service. A reasonable turn out. However, it dragged on for far too long. They basically had to retire the school cadet honour guard in dribs and drabs. The keynote speech dragged on for over 20 minutes. I left before they had finished the ceremonies as even I found it too boring. No consideration that they had kids standing there and not adults. The Catafalque Party was made up of naval cadets with mock rifles (L1a1 in shape but painted white). The drill was a little "interesting" to say the least, however they made the effort. My daughter remarked afterwards how interesting it was that all the people with medals stood to attention at the same moment I did. Cool

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Right on. And probably got pissed off because the abos didn't throw on a smoking ceremony welcoming Australians to their country.

I remember my pop drinking and smoking his life away because of the war. No proper help from the assholes that sent him to New Guinea. It destroyed people and the way I see it today's ceremonies give it a herioc edge . I don't like it. If people were told the truth they wouldn't go. It's a sickening stain and a crime on humanity. But if it makes you feel better about yourself then all power to you Bwian.

The message is that 100 years ago a massive, destructive, horrible, mechanised war ended. The guns fell (largely) silent. The Danes had not taken part. So, Soren, why aren't you willing to assimilate to Australian society and observe that the reason why we fought in WWI was to defeat totalitarian militarism of the kind you appear to favour so much?
