It has to be said. Is anyone else suffering ANZAC Day repitition disorder (ADRD)?

ANZAC Day 1915 + a number of years =

- ANZAC commercials for $$

+ remembrance with the sentiments we rightly observe every year

+ politicians becoming ANZACS by Association through their speechmaking.

Awaiting Sunday = ANZAC Day 1915 + a number of years + 1 day

Grandson of an ANZAC who was evil.

As I've said elsewhere, the sheer commercialism of the centenary has put me off, I'm giving it all a miss and going fox hunting on ANZAC Day.

I note that the ABC is doing a re-run of that inaccurate and hopefully unintentionally insulting series "The War That Changed Us".

IS MISE is a Veteran, and his thought's are eloquently contained herein. And I too am a veteran, and I couldn't agree with him more.

This ANZAC Day has now been consigned for the exclusive benefit of politicians, and their most senior bureaucrats ? Interestingly, I would bet that none of them were required to rely upon the draw of a lottery, in order for them to be permitted to attend this very special, Dawn Service at Gallipoli ?

Lest we Forget !

All writers so far to OLO on this subject here, I agree with all of you, what a pain this whole thing has become, how much more do we have to listen or read about this particular Anzac Day, let's get it over with, the sooner the better
The politicians sent then and the politicians send now, nothing has changed

Are they prepping us for a war with Russia and China? Why would any country have its prime celebration, a war of British Imperialism in which we were canon fodder for their power and profit ?

The conventional wisdom today thinking the world being way too over populated and with the ensuing environmental panic, don't be surprised that our elites decide to have a limited nuclear war while they retreat to their underground bunkers for a few years.

In this era of robotics and computers,ordinary humans are really becoming redundant. They no longer need us.

Consider all the possibilities because these private think tanks have been working overtime for many decades.
