Agreed, and thank you! Neglecting our duty to educate a younger generation opens the way for dangerous revisionism. We must teach the true history of the world wars to every generation. Neither World War I nor World War II were chains of unavoidable events. The wars were started by members of a would-be empire who saw themselves as being inherently, genetically superior and intended to dominate and control the world. Other nations with dreams of empire followed on to join the first.

I don't know if this is true Down Under but in this country the WWII generation is referred to as “The Greatest Generation”.Of course,worldwide,allied soldiers from WWII are dying off fast.But as a kid...and as an adult...I've been taught to deeply respect the bravery,and sacrifice,of Americans,Brits,Canadians,Aussies (and others) who defeated the Germans and the Japanese.
