Was it that the leading politicians told the populace that it would not be right and proper to mark such an occasion?
And the Irish people complied.
Today Ireland marks the end of World War I hostilities.
Our leading politicians urge us to mark the event. The Irish people comply.
Is there the danger in marking such an occasion that at the same time war can easily be romanticised.
The majority of people who get killed in war are usually people with few resources, they are in fact cannon-fodder.
Is there some sort of phoniness in states commemorating them in death?
