I am an American - but in really bothers me how American-centric our history is. I teach high school, and even my fellow teachers do not know the Independence days of Canada and Mexico. The fact that Mexico sent troops to fight in WWII, that more Canadians came south to fight in Viet Nam than Draft Dodger went North, that Australians and Poles and El Salvador were in Iraq with us...I am the Lone Ranger in teaching that in my school.

I have two salutes to give here, to the politicians; two fingers, and to the solders, well, the biggest possible. Thanks for fighting, the majority of the public hated you, you struggled through the impossible, at the fingertips of bald old politicians. Cheers guys, and I will make my final salute by joining the services, cos boy you guys deserve some credit.

i joined the RAAF due to this song

[Dragisvarin]

This song is exactly what torture the ANZACs went through. It brings a tear to my eye that even after the war, those who survive were permanetly scarred and would never be the same. :( :(

Middle finger salute to those who started the war my Australian grandfathers and uncles had to fight in, the biggest salute to those who were brave enough to do what had to be done and fight.

My grandfather was in Vietnam as a Soviet military advisor

@nrthngrrl nah.... the english were there.... the gallipoli landings by the ANZACs was meant to draw the attention of the Turks so the British could land and rapidly advance and it worked except that the British commander did not move forward enough (spent several days resting on the beaches)

@stalker1647 Well this is America, I bet they don't teach our history either.
