I must say yes it was my discussion about "Hitler". That was during my drunken postin forum. SO bascially care? The more I read the forums, the more I must say most of these arguements start from language barriers. All I was basically saying was, us Australians (and probably the Kiwi's), opinionated lot we are, aren't taught to feel guilty.....we are a cross cultural lot, so we don't really care about the past. Its the future we care about!!
But we remember something's like,
Don't worry if the Japs conquer Australia we shall reinvade, as said by a British Prime Minister, while our troops were fighting in some famous desert places.......
Also that "perfumed princess" American General MacCarthur, telling our troops that all you got to defend is a little creek.........when it was 7 kilometers across..... And our Australian Troops did defend it, and defeated the Japanese Army with less than a battalion.. It was the first victory against the Japanese.
Some of us will never forget the truth and hopefully not after the true ANZACS part our company, we shall never forget
