I was away for a few days (WW1 Armistice is an official holiday in many European countries), but this should clarify things further:
In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Here in Flanders, we don't celebrate "heroes" that day; we sadly remember the millions of poor slobs on both sides, massacred to no avail, for no good reason. One look at the Menin Gate in Ypres, with the names of more than 54,000 British soldiers "known unto God" (i.e. vanished without a trace. Ripped to pieces by shellfire, buried alive, drowned in the Flemish mud,...), or at Kathe Kollwitz's "Grieving parents" in the German military cemetery in Vladslo (preferably under a low, grey sky with the wind chasing the rain) is enough... Rather than being heroes, they would have preferred to live.
Thank you for posting that.
I had no idea...couldn't figure out the original post with the image, which I honestly did not like the language, but I get the point now.
Still don't see any humor in it though...
