My favourite Eric Bogle song is 'All the Fine Young Men' but I'm inclined to agree with Keith A that today's not the day for those songs.

Liane says "we remember that terrible war in part precisely because it was fought for reasons that were not always clear and because it accomplished so little."
Well yes and no. All the fine young men may well have been misled and betrayed but that doesn't diminish their personal loyalty, courage and desperation when faced with fear and horror. That's what moves me on November 11th, not the merits/demerits of particular wars/policies and that's why, just for one day, my favourite song isn't the right one.
