I wish I could post this here in Australia without getting rocks from every white Australian. You can search my post history to see their reaction to questioning this.

Australia was involved in every one of those crimes. And the celebration for those meaningless murders are everywhere. Questioning this is questioning the sacrifice of Jesus.

Though by order of our north american overlords the US should not be alone in that title.

Thanks for the link. And this should be the new motto.

Or I came up with a different one. Lest we forget how some struggled to kill many for the profit of few.

And that includes the sacrosanct anzac. But that opinion can get me killed here.

We really need to separate the trauma that formed the ANZAC legend from the fuckos of any warfare since.

My great-grandfather was an ANZAC - actual, WWI, 23rd Battalion, 16 year old. I knew him extremely well, I was sixteen when he passed. I had a front row seat to what happened to those kids for the rest of their lives.

I don't fucking venerate servicemen.

Seeing the public reaction to some of the military adjacent cases over the past few years has been incredibly disheartening (e.g. McBride)
