I like to think we remember the dead and then realise the stupidity of war. But the older I get the less hopeful I am that we will as a species come to our senses.
We must never glorify war which I fear can happen today. What is often forgotten is the toll war takes on innocents. Women raped, families torn asunder. Yes remember the sacrifice and remember the evil that is war.
