Having been a soldier in the Australian Army 81-87, i was trained by Vietnam veterans and learnt that Anzac day is a day of quiet reflection. IT IS NOT a time for attacks on the merits of war. To do so is insulting to those that died and gave the ultimate sacrifice, those that survived needed the peace and the quietness in the morning to remain sane. Please Bert for the sake of the fallen stop acting like a royal turd. I have been shot at with real rounds and I can tell you it was the most frightening time of my life. Anzac day is the day that I sit and thank those that fell, especially those that died stopping the advance of the Japanese in New Guinea. Without that sacrifice things might have been very different here. So now just stop and be quiet, find another thread to comment in or go and attempt some processing for a bit.
