Acacia, I appreciate your point of view, but perhaps today is not the day to state it.

I must respectfully disagree, this is a very appropriate day to say this and we should all think hard on it and not get sucked in to the soppy sentimentality. War is not sentimental and nor is it glorious.

Thank goodness you and your opinion are in the minority .  Please remember you have the right to this free speech and opinion and our way of life because of these men and women who sacrificed their lives to protect your/our freedom and way of life.

Australia remembers: Thousands gather for Anzac Day services

I have family members still serving. I have family who have served. I have family who died 'serving. I served myself.

I respect those and families of those who have served and died. I do not respect or hold dear the idiots and cowards who send men and women off to get maimed, injured and killed.

I fully support acacias opinions on this day especially of all days.
