i understand

let's not forget

[deankiller1]

We will remember them

[tcorbaci]

not turkish...

[veritbo]

look im sorry but can someone eplaion why we commemorate epople who follow u=orders even though they are wrong and invade other countries lke this?

[mentalnoted]

@veritbo: yeah. We are well aware of the mistakes at this remove in time. It is not a glorification of war, but a remembering of the lives lost on both sides.

[radoa1]

@mentalnoted mistakes??? Was Nazi Germany invading greater europe - a mistake?

[Goannadria]

@radoa1 That war was 20+ years after the landings at Gallipoli. And yes, World War Two was a mistake, like all wars. But the advances in aerial technology and medicine due to those wars must be taken into account.

War is the worst vice of the human race, yet it bring with it our greatest cultural and technological developments. It's like a fire ravaging the countryside; New life with sprout from the ashes of the old.

[radoa1]

@Goannadria you described the actions taken by the Nazis - a mistake?? How many young lives were lost for imperial conquest Goanna?? The "life" you sprout will be the new generation chosen and manipulated top fight the next war for the benefit of corporate capitalism

[aarontsmall1975]

@radoa1 Democracy isn't perfect, but it beats the hell out of whatever is in second place. How many died in the name of Marxist ideals? Maoist propaganda? Leave the rhetoric out and show some fucking respect.

[Goannadria]

@veritbo Taking into account the situation at the time (Turkey was a powerful member of the Central Powers, an ally of Germany) the landings at Gallipoli have the same basis as the invasion of Italy; to knock that country out of the war.

We commemorate the people because of what they gave. Not just the ones who died, but the ones whose souls were torn asunder. If we don't remember them, and what they did, then we will just repeat those mistakes, again and again.

We CANNOT forget.

love to these brave men!!

[SugarTomAppleRoger]

Let us also remember the cowards. My mother's family were conshies and therefore called cowards. They all joined the medical corps. My uncles were still fired at. My mother had to patch up badly wounded USMC and my auntie was a war correspondent. The whole thing about cowardice has to be faced. The real cowards were those "ladies" who handed out the feathers. They had no intention of going. The whole thing makes me sick.

[casp1965]
