After 16 years in the Royal Australian Army, I think I am qualified enough to say that, IMHO, ANZAC day now goes well beyond just Australia and New Zealand. It reminds us of the true human cost of war and although politicians and religious extremists may monger the wars, it is the soldiers and the people who bravely and gallantly fight, suffer and die for their cause.
I salute the ANZACs and anyone with the fortitude to serve their country for freedom from oppression and what they believe in their hearts is right. Even the enemy!
Remember, they have kids and husbands and wives too. They don't want to be in a trench with a gun or sword anymore than you would.
Think about it.
Lest we forget.
