Basically, he doesn't understand what the remembrance services and festival is all about. Oh he says he does, he says he knows what its
supposed to be about, but to him it doesn't mean that. Unfortunately you can't argue sense into someone who is adamant they understand something that they quite obviously don't.
And this is the problem in a nutshell IMHO. Those of us in the military, or with recent connections to it, understand the need for certain actions, and operations, we understand the significance, and the poignance of the remembrance services. We take the time to consider the wider ramifications of not undertaking a particualr course of action even though it may well have had undesirable consequences at the time.
When these issues are examined with a black vs white, right vs wrong mindset, the point is quite often well and truly missed.
