The admonition ‘Lest we forget’ was based on the hope that remembering the terrible human cost of military conflict (both military and civilian) we would learn and never walk that path again.<br /><br />We have not learned and probably never will. The very nature of humankind leads us to war. It is my hope and belief that most warfare (in which we are the defender) is justified in that we seek to fight injustice the world over. We cannot sit back comfortably while others are subject to mans inhumanity to man. That is not peace.<br /><br />Sorry this comment is a bit soapbox(y).<br /><br />Kind regards<br />Anna :o]<br />hyperCRYPTICalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967085628384237933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30233877.post-69753520334100088212016-11-13T22:27:57.725+11:002016-11-13T22:27:57.725+11:00Too often Australia has fought other nations wars ...Too often Australia has fought other nations wars and paid the price for peace in foreign fields.
