  • I wish Remembrance day and poppies were explicitly about remembering all war dead and injured, not focusing on armed forces, it would be more useful then as a reminder of the horrors of war.

    Wouldn't it be nice if the cenotaph events included representation from Germany, Japan etc too? Its not even 10o years yet I suppose but I'd hope that at some point in the future the remembrance activities became less nationalistic.

  • Sure, but those events are still all about the military. I'm thinking make it an explicit thing to remember everyone - especially as methods of killing become more detached.
