I see your point due to the timing of the announcement but I still can't compare the executions to the war time deaths

Kind of pales into insignificance when you think of the tens of thousands of young Aussie men who went to their deaths willingly in the Gallipolli campaign we commemorated yesterday.
sorry but if that is your reason then it
doesn't make sense.

there really is no comparison, other than the media trying to make it so.
unless I read her post wrong icy was saying the same thing - that the executions are insignificant given what Anzac day stands for....

because our soldiers died fighting for our country, and these two men are unfortunately being executed in a foreign country.
For trying to smuggle drugs out of that country and into theirs (ours).
because so many patriotic Australian young men VOLUNTEERED to fight for our country does not mean they gave up their lives willingly
I'm pretty sure they did not have in mind that they were volunteering so that they could be killed
how you can even draw a comparison between an execution and soldiers fighting for their country I have no idea
You're right. There's no comparison. Yet I'd like to think these young men about to be executed will go with the same resolve and courage, and with reflection on their past lives and the effect their deeds have had on others, for better or for worse.
ok, you've lost me now because in this post you are drawing a comparison.
there is nothing even similar or courageous about the death these two are facing compared to the deaths of soldiers defending their country.
My apologies Debra.

I am just wishing it over ,its gone on so long .I am ok with Indonesia having the death penalty but cannot help thinking their system is a bit odd,the other day they sentenced an American girl who with her boyfriend murdered her mother with multiple stab wounds and hid the body while they debauched on.... she got 10 years max.
How odd is that ?.interesting morals there
