Roger,
Modern war is glorious and the will of God. Such moments of silence can interfere with brainwashing people.
These moments lead people to remember the horrors of war and the sacrifice of young working class people in those wars. Some people even conclude that the insanity must never happen again.
Big department store sales are much less risky than moments of silence. We've got a lot of glory brewing on the horizon and can't afford moments during which people remember or think!

I recall standing up for a minute of silence in grade school at 11 minutes past 11 on Nov. 11. And then much later meeting a few old European WWI veterans (on Nov. 11, 1967, in Ypres, Belgium), for whom that moment meant a great deal. Sad to think that Europe went back to war just 20+ years later
and sad (to me) to think that we don't generally still have a moment of silence on this day
