It's not enough to remember and honour sacrifices and thank those serving our countries. It's time to think. Tomorrow is Remembrance Day in Canada and in many parts of the world. What I think most of our military forces---and my family goes back to serving in all the big ones including the Napoleonic wars---is where we have placed them in dirty wars for dirty reasons, where they sacrifice mostly for their comrades in arms, to survive and come home.They have a special place in my heart. We put them there. I'm not a pacifist believing in peace at any price, We need more thinking about those we're asking to make sacrifices.

Hats off for selflessness when called to duty.

Always think of my father in law Everette Denison who was with the Quebec Rifles when Hong Kong fell in 1940. Poor guys spent the whole Pacific war as POWs, losing hundreds of men to starvation and disease.

Speaking from how I see my country, it's as patriotic as any but when the heat cools we neglect our military, put it away for the next time. My hope, expectation of something better is the way women are organizing successfully for changes of thinking, making males seem lazy and mountebanks by comparison.
