ANZAC Day

Anzac Day's tomorrow. I'm debating whether I should go to a ceremony (as a rep. of my school) or not. On the one hand, these people died fighting a war, which we are told they fought nobly and for good cause, in the interests of our country, and for the betterment of humanity, on the other, tomorrow is, in a way, a celebration of the use of military force, we are not just remembering the deaths of these people, we are glorifying their actions, and giving justification to the militarist frame of mind.

ANZAC day is "a day to remember", whether you reflect on the loss of life, or on a sacrifice, it was undoubtedly an important date in Australian or World history.
