WhiskeyWhiskers posted:Yeah why call out the hypocrisy of mourning the awful uselessness of war while still engaged in multiple conflicts? It's entirely in-line with the spirit of ANZAC day and no one's false mourning is more important than preventing even more soldier's useless deaths. Marching vets and their families aren't mourning falsely nor are they responsible for current conflicts.

I hate the jingoism of ANZAC Day but feel there are better avenues for protest than veteran walks, like the photo-ops of chickenhawk politicans, or anywhere where veterans aren't commemorating. My uncle is a Vietnam vet who takes the commemoration very personally and gets emotional remembering things. Despite the lovely patriotism infecting the day I think there's still room to speak out against it while respecting the space of soldiers who get something out of the service.

Glad Andrew Bolt was able to identify the true villains of Anzac Day: Aboriginal veterans marching under the Aboriginal flag instead of the Australian one.

Gorilla Salad posted:So, just like the time he blinked in the face of Pell's Vatican testimony and made a comment about how horrible all those kids being raped was. Then very quickly took it all back after a slap from his masters. No idea how his readership responded to this, but he's equally chickenshit when they go against him on something ie. Trump, who he initially despised. That could explain it.
