Are people more positive about Gallipoli these days then? I thought the take was “Churchill’s bright idea got a bunch of us killed for nothing” but that might have faded with time.

It's pretty common for disastrous military failures to get retconned into heroic character-building moments. That way, the people responsible for the failure can draw attention away from their own responsibility, and the victims can avoid directly acknowledging just how much suffering they'd been subjected to for no good reason. Gallipoli was a military failure, but Australia (which had only been recently unified into a single country) played it up as a source of national identity. In the mouths of the propagandists, the horrible failure of the Gallipoli campaign became the tale of the heroic ANZACs charging into a hail of enemy bullets, bravely and selflessly laying down their lives in the face of an insurmountable challenge, their useless deaths demonstrating to the world just how incredible and amazing the Aussie spirit was.
