Men boarded a ship and sailed away. Nothing happened. Though, you may be right in one respect. Such days will be revered in the minds of imbeciles over the next four years. A celebration of nothingness seems appropriate for those unable to think beyond the obvious.Did you feel better after getting all that off your chest? Despite what you think or feel the fact is that what happened 100 years ago on that day was indeed a very significant day in the history of this country.
What people fail to see is that this whole sickening revisionism achieves nothing, other than making them somehow feel warm inside. It's not about those who died or indeed served. The only active ingredient in this process is people of your ilk. The fallen are playing no part.
If this is such a vital day in Australian history, why is the 100th anniversary in any way more important than the 97th? How many turned up on that anniversary at Albany? The whole disgusting process is a sham of a travesty and a completely artificial construct. You seem to have swallowed it like that was your job.
