Anti-militarist posters seen in Sydney in the lead-up to ANZAC day.

ANZAC day is a annual militarist holiday in Australia and New Zealand used to glorify past imperialist wars and to drum up nationalism and support for future military campaigns.

The traditional apparel of an Ottoman Knight, aka Turkish "Sipahi" - 17th century Ottoman Equestrian Warrior.

There were two types of Sipahi - the "Timarli" Sipahi (Ottoman army) and the "Kapikulu" Sipahi (Palace troops).

Timarli Sipahi were responsible to govern and collect taxes from the sultan's land, as well as provide security to its people. Timarli also worked alongside with the villagers in the fields, but had no right to owning property, only receive income from it.

The Kapikulu Sipahi were the household Calvary troops, serving in the Ottoman Palace and were considered the most organized, loyal, and feared military force. There were six divisions of Kapikulu Sipahi, the highest, most elite being the "Silahtars" (weapon masters). In order to be ranked a favored Silahtar, an Ottoman Solider had to commit a significant act proving their willingness to sacrifice their life…serdengectic (give their head) - i.e. enlist and survive a suicide mission.

Both the Timarli and Kapikulu trained continuously, and were known to be skilled horse archers, with the prowess to shoot while galloping. Their armor and weapons of choice were plated mail, chainmail, round shield, sword, composite bow, arrows, lance, mace, and axe.

In war, on the battlefield, the elite Silahtars were positioned as rear guards, reinforcing the larger, provincial Timarli army flanks. The Timarli served as the mobile striking arm, used to break the enemy's cohesion, by isolating and overwhelming them with numerical superiority, as the Silahtars showered the enemy with arrows from a distance.

𝙇𝙄𝙆𝙀 if you are Warrior who…beneath all your weapons, shields, chainmail armor and epic claims of being an elite Silahtar Warrior back home…is really just a big, stoopid history nerd. Yeah, thought so.
