It was in response to needless thoughtlessness in describing the ordinary soldiers who fought overseas. There were myriad reasons they went to fight, and calling them all killers of their brothers is just gross. Most honestly thought they were serving their country and their fellow Australians. I'm sure the OP knows that, so his reason for posting this distorted rants about the people with the least power in the situation is purely for attention. If he just wanted to discuss the historical facts, he could have posted it on any other day, but he wanted to get our goat. Well, he got mine.

And you downvoted every comment even slightly critical of you as well. Disingenuousness is not a good look if you want your views to be taken seriously.

Oh, I'm sorry. Am I supposed to waste more words on obvious rage bait and a poster trying to kick up a fuss for attention to meet your approval? The OP posted an inflammatory piece on a solemn day of remembrance, and is surprised that their extreme take on the ordinary men and women who died in the war is considered a bit much? The 'direct insult' is a direct observation. In their bio they say they have narcissistic personality disorder, and their responses have been consistent with that, which is not good for their mental health or pleasant reading.

I suggest you go work on your narcissistic personality disorder some more, and stop being a dick.

Mate, you're being inflammatory for inflammatory's sake now, and downvoting everyone who doesn't agree with every word of your precious article is just childish. If you want people to think about the matter, then scolding them for wrong think is counterproductive.

Conflating the foot soldiers supporting their mates and brothers with the big knobs running the circus, isn't fair, however true the historical context is.
