Yeah?
It's about remembering the past sacrifice of our men and women of the armed services.
WTF does it have to do with,
So all those that vote for a more 'rationalised' defence force should feel ( in my opinion) hypocritical if they turn up at an ANZAC day parade.
From the Government
Anzac Day now promotes a sense of unity, perhaps more effectively than any other day on the national calendar. People whose politics, beliefs and aspirations are widely different can nevertheless share a genuine sorrow at the loss of so many lives in war, and a real respect for those who have endured warfare on behalf of the country we live in.
May be you have just missed the meaning of the day yourself!
