It really was.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Every once in a while we manage to do something totally awesome.

Amazing images there.

Re: Armistice Day
This seems about right:

And maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing. Occasionally (very rarely, in my opinion) there's a valid reason for the organized brutality of war. Maybe it's a severe injustice that can't be remedied any other way, or a tyrant whose aggression needs to be checked. But no matter what reasons are behind it, war is always horrific, whether it's a single bomb that obliterates an entire city, an emplaced machine gun that mows down charging troops by the dozen, or a roadside bomb that rips an armored Humvee apart like an aluminum soda can.
Perhaps that's why Remembrance Day or Armistice Day seem more appropriate to me. They are more of an acknowledgement that while we can't eliminate war, we should always remember its destructive cost, so that we work as hard as we can to avoid it as much as possible.
