This service was very different. People were asked to stand when a villager who lost his/her life in war was named. In the end, a huge number of people were standing.
This re-enforces that most wars are pointless. I hope the world wakes up that wars rarely solve issues. There are exceptions when we are fighting evil. Even in these cases, we need to understand the reasons these tyrants (e.g. Hitler and Putin) had or have these views. Usually jaw jaw is far better than war, war.
