Canada considers its servicemen and women differently from the US, Bill. The notion of warriors as heroes doesn't generally enter it. It's a volunteer force. It goes where it is sent by politicians. We admire its professionalism although not always their missions. Holding military personnel to account for war policy is unintelligent and old-fashioned. A big difference between yours and ours is the US does not neglect its armed forces between wars as we do.The US is the West's police and we're a cop on a beat.
