Comment on Question about Australian towns

Your conflating worship and memorial.
Most small towns sent large portions of their populace to fight in both ww1 and ww2.
These towns wanted their sons remembered and it has become a tradition across Australia to remember the sacrifices made by our military personnel to ensure that our way of life is preserved and that you’re able to imegrate here and live how ever you like.
To answer your question I don’t think you will find many towns at all. Most Australians are proud of our history and want it celebrated and sacrifices remembered.

Thanks for the answer. I disagree with the opinion regarding “sacrifices”, “way of life” and so on, but it’s one shared by the majority of Australians I talked to, so I can’t really debate it. I do respect it however. It’s something you consider culturally important. I hope you understand I see it in a different way as someone who came from a foreign country that could as well be invaded and have the same rethoric.
