Well, one of the key points is that this myth only powerfully works for France, Germany and perhaps the Benelux area. Maybe Italy at a stretch. For them there is direct or close geographical relevance.

Not to mention that as generations go on, the war loses some of it's old mythical symbolic meaning. It will mean something different to kids born today, so it is perhaps an imperfect myth going forward.

For others, be it the UK, Ireland or Spain or Portugal it's logical to see there needs to be something more inclusive, more involving, I think.
