Christ can they not leave these things alone ? At the end of the day who really cares ? Next they will be digging up trenches in Flanders. An opportunity for a group of old men to wear medals and recall murder and killing and some tube blowing a bugle. It turns my stomach how some people keep the desire to glorify war and conflict.

Killing is no reason to celebrate."

"Who cares?... An opportunity for a group of old men to wear medals and recall murder and killing and some tube blowing a bugle."

No Bob, for closure as Rowan says for relatives and ex-comrades, so that they can give due respect for their friends and loved ones who gave their lives in order that "some tube" like you could post what you did.

You have a weird idea of what qualifies as celebrating - "At the setting of the sun" indeed, you might not appreciate what was sacrificed fortunately others do.
