I’m often conflicted by Remembrance Day. Is it about honouring veterans because they were brutalized? Or is it about honouring their service to the country? Or is it about something else? What do you think? https://billhulet.substack.com/p/meditation-on-a-poppy
That’s a pretty ahistorical take on them.
WW1 was for our (Britain’s) imperialism and WW2 was because Germany was getting too powerful.
