This is too good to critique.

I have a huge issue with remembrance day, and the way troops are honoured here. I just don't feel it does anything to promote acceptance and forgiveness. Fighting in a war (and hopefully I don't get eaten for this one) does not automatically make heroes. War is fought by frightened men, whos fear has been twisted into hate. I kind appreciate that WW2 is supposed to be different, but was it, really. There, on the front lines, did both sides hate each other with a passion... or were they just men, killing other men just like them, so they could go home. Men lined up, and ran at each other, knowing most of them would never see their families again, and the only hope they had was to kill as many others as they could. It was a horrible horrible thing, a necessary evil at best, not something to be celebrated. I know remembrance day here is more mournful, but we literally remember certain local people... no one who dies in war should go unremembered. No one will ever know how they really felt. It is sad that people died, sadder that a situation arose where people felt they had to kill each other. I wish instead countries all over the world would remember that, and the focus would be more on people died on both sides, lets always remember how much that sucked and not do it again.

_{also maybe something about not taking a place from the people who live there and saying it belongs to someone else, but then maybe more about not drawing lines and placing value on life depending on where it falls in relation to those lines on a map. Maybe more about how we are all the same people, and although there are differences between us, that is a good thing. We balance each other in this great world. There is no us and them, just people who don't wana die - phew rant over}
