Todd, I digress slightly. Websites like canadiansoldiers.com serve to remind me that until recently, Canada has had a stong and proud military, but the last quarter century has seen it essentially dismalted into little more than another police force. Canada has been "soft highjacked" by socialist politicians with little interest in defence spending beyong the skeletal essentials. Sadly, it would seem this is not likley to be corrected anytime soon. When I see old photos and memorabilia, I can't help but feel that we've seriously let down the men that have and are trying to serve their country. This must change if we are to survive in a modern and very dangerous world.
Sorry for the rant.
