I will, however, be avoiding the media today. The pseudo-patriotic orgy of breast beating segues too neatly into sabre rattling for any of the shades of the dead to take comfort in how they're being remembered. And the political capital being made of it all bypasses distaste and runs straight into obscenity.
In 13 minutes I will spend a quiet moment reflecting sadly upon what this nation has become, and apologizing to the souls of the lost for how they have been exploited.
