It is astonishing what chameleons we humans are.
One year we are ready to annihilate one another for the cause of the king, god and the country. The year next we gather with the former enemies at sites of peril and remember what we lost with some foolish notion that we actually gained something through the sacrifice. I abhor that pride that this tragic day is embellished with.
