I should add I enjoyed my time in the ADF as it provided me the opportunity to complete my studies, save money and make life long friends.

sadly too many australians are sucked in by this with not only war but economics as well.

how many times do we hear calls for protectionist policies like tariffs, barriers to entry on employment, tariffs and demanding foreigners pay more for "our" resources.

I think we really need to revisit our laws on marketing ANZAC

There is something to be said about conservative laws regarding the promotion of war

I wonder if 93% have worked out we invaded another country or do they believe we just landed?

I am not anti war nor am I anti WW1, I just don't like celebrating death and marketing to the next batch of cannon fodder.

But people might work out it's not kotcha to continuously invade countries.

So you have to call the present army 'diggers' to relate them to a less dubious force

We 'invaded' a country we were already at war with.
