Well, whatever it is, it's not facism. Interestingly, the ex-servicemen in the immediate aftermath of WWI were cynical about the whole Remembrance thing. Here's Lord Peter Wimsey in 'The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club' talking to a fellow veteran:
'All this remembrance-day business gets on your nerves, don't it? It's my belief most of us would be only too pleased to chuck these community hysterics if the beastly newspapers didn't run it for all it's worth'.
La plus ca change, as they say.
