Ah yes, many of the ones I went to didn't have military history. Yet they made worship monuments just for the war in general. As a kind of obligation or something. I see RSL as just a place where people can go to gamble, so I don't even really associate it with military. It was much later that I learned that it's not just a gambling and drinking club, but something related to military which was a very weird mix to me.

ANZAC... yes... I dislike that a lot, but you can just avoid any event, unlike monuments everywhere.

Did your city not have any monument?

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.
