hehe yeah it's all good
as with what you were saying, yeah, freedom is a very slippery and often manipulated word sadly... kinda like other words, such as 'love', 'weapons-of-mass-desruction', 'fundamentalist', 'terrorist' and lots of other "ist" words hehe..
Back on topic anyway, back in WWI I think the ethics of military engagement were a little clearer (though, I wasn't there). Whatever the case I sure appreciate what ANZAC day truly represents at its core.
And I SURE appreciate the majority of what Australia is today. Not perfect, but i would go so far as to say it's above average!
We do have a debt, it's good to honour it.
