I agree with everyone of the comments,it should be taken up in radio andtelevision about patriotism or the lack of it in canada.Perceived or otherwise my impression after serving 14 yrs is that canadians just don't give a ****! excluding those that have served or are serving and im sure there are others.
It's just that because we have such a small force and so few in the country have served recently,it doesn't hit home the sacrifices involved,down in yhe states where i reside at present almost everyone i talk to has a relative or has lost one,so they can all relate.
Our countrys problem good or bad is that it has not been involved in a major conflict and the perception is that we are hiding behind the usa for our security,the first step i may add to losing our identity as a nation,no matter what is said i see in the future a strong possibility that we could become the 51st state!
a thought i do not relish. |
