This is something i do not understand, most Canadian families, that have been here a couple or more generations , have had relatives serve in our military, to take up arms for this nation.....some families paid a steep price with one or more sons, some towns and villages were gutted by the loss of so many of their sons and daughters...i don't think there is a town or village without a monument dedicated to their memory. these monuments are gathering points for the towns. Once a year on , NOV 11, so we may honor them, remember them, because that is the pledge we took, and we retake every year in their name sake....."we shall remember" but lately that is where it stops.....
Canadians have known the cost of war, and the pain that comes with all of that, and while it is not fresh in their minds they have become numb to our militaries condition today, to the point they are hostile to it, evident here , and other forums as well..... I'm not sure what to say, except, we the soldiers, airmen, and sailors are not your enemy....but rather one of you....
