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.
There were Australians at the time who supported their brothers. They said, “stay home.” And there were also Australians at the time who said “Let’s go kill people in the name of honour”, and who encouraged their brothers to a miserable death. Australia never conscripted for World War One. Everyone who died in those trenches chose to be there. Everyone who died in those trenches was a killer. Everyone who died in those trenches after telling his mates to enlist was a killer of his brothers.
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.
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.
They’re also misgendering Me. And they say they read My bio, so at that point you have to believe it’s intentional, right? Hm, someone who misgenders Me and attacks Me for My mental health, who refuses to behave civilly and instead posts one sentence inflammatory responses, all in defence of the armed forces. I think we may be dealing with a nazi.

I suggest you go work on your narcissistic personality disorder some more, and stop being a dick.
As much as I think what this person is arguing is grotesque, I agree with their reply. This was probably a bit needlessly personal tbh.

I’m nonbinary. You’re referring to Me as “he”, but My pronouns are “They/Them”. Please edit your comment to avoid misgendering Me.
Fuckin hell, that’s a bit personal, innit?
