What gets broken up between Memorial, Armed Forces, and Veterans' Days in the States...gets rolled up into one large and yet relatively sombre thing in Canada called Remembrance Day.

I doubt that we're ever going to fully rid ourselves of this scourge. So long as human beings believe in the concepts of right and wrong, and disagree on what falls into which of those categories...we're going to have both war itself and dissent over when to be at war and with whom and why. Which is what makes preserving democratic societies so important as part of the "right" rather than the "wrong". If we don't maintain the freedom to argue over these things, we're doomed.
