Anzac to Afghanistan

For the past 100 years, young Australians have grown up hearing the story of the original Anzacs. They know where they fought, the battles they were involved in and the characters that emerged from the brutal campaign as the Anzacs, along with British, Indian and French forces, attempted unsuccessfully to take over the Gallipoli peninsula.

"I think it's hardwired into most Australians that when we think about war, we think about boats turning up on a shore... we think about charging up a hill to kill an enemy." - Former soldier

Far fewer Australians, though, would know with any precision what Australian troops have been doing in Afghanistan for the past 14 years. Thousands of soldiers have left Australian shores, many have died and many more wounded. And yet, in spite of modern communications, few people would understand exactly what our soldiers have been through.

Why is that? Has the legend of Anzac obscured and overshadowed more recent conflicts, and has it stopped a more complex discussion about Australians experience of war?
