I'm uncomfortable with the tone as well, especially here in Aus where some people drink all night and then go to the dawn service. My family have never been big on the day because my grandfather who did serve asked us not to go. He never liked the posturing of people showing off their medals and no doubt he wouldn't like the atmosphere now. Even the ANZAC/Gallipoli exhibition at Te Papa felt weird to me, there was no mention of the Turkish who also suffered, it felt like it was glorifying our role too much and seemed very one-sided to me. I'm glad we remember and commemorate but I don't feel super comfortable with the way it's being done.
