I'm not objecting to anything - I just want to know what the myth 
*is*. It doesn't bother me in the slightest that millions of 
Australians believe that Britain callously disposed of the ANZACs, 
even if it's not true.

But it does interest me to know what Australians believe.

I'm told that in Russia, they believe that if you use Microsoft 
software, a little program transmits everything you do back for Uncle 
Sam to analyse as part of his ongoing plan to dominate the universe.

Don't you find stuff like that just too fascinating for words?
