But yet we have millions for illegal terrorists jumping over everyone and entering our country illegally.

Sick, sick, sick.

What the fuck are we are doing to our country ?

I have said it before and I will continue to say it, "Your average Canadian does not care about your average soldier."

[ShepherdsDog]

This pure and utter bullshit. Under the Liberals you would expect this sort of crap, because they are openly contemptuous of the military and those who have served. However, the Conservatives claim to be pro military, yet still the military and veterans are being treated like crap. This is shameful.

“I was told … that it is in the government’s best interests to have soldiers killed overseas rather than wounded because the liability is shorter term,” Stogran said.

Economically? Of course! Same goes for insurance companies. Dead is always cheaper than wounded.
I am not surprised.

Know what the difference between this and a large, stinking pile of horseshit is?

If you plug your nose, the horseshit doesn't stink anymore.

We have pen-pushers in charge of Veterans Affairs. I would doubt if many of them have even been in the Cadets.

GF is right. Most Canadians don't really care about the military or the well being of soldiers/sailors/airmen/women.

Sure, people care more than they used to but there is a big chunk of our society that sees the military as something to be hidden, something menacing and wrong.

Remember "Soldiers with guns, in our cities, Canadian cities."? The Liberal attack ads on the military being close to major cities from the 2006 campaign?

That message resonates with a large portion of Canadian society.

The lefties are just waiting for an opportunity to hide the military away from adoring gazes again.

Sure it makes book sense. But saying it like this just shows he's either an idiot or a cold heartless bastard.

Seriously I don't know how that colonial didn't punch him out on the spot.

[PublicAnimalNo9]

I remember those ads EB. Fucking disgusting that our gov't would use taxpayer dollars to publicly disparage the fine men and women that serve in our forces.

I mean gee, we have police stations and cops with guns right IN our cities. My God, anarchy is just aroiund the corner.
Like what other insult can our gov't slap the faces of our military members with?
Next thing you know they'll be closing down beds for veterans while spending millions of dollars to process illegal immigra...oh wait

[EyeBrock]

Yep PA9, cheats from Sri Lanka get treated better by our government than citizens who fight and die for Canada.

A shit state of affairs.

The same people who are 'uncomfortable' with a robust military ( "Can't we just go back to peacekeeping and soft power?") are the same ones advocating we treat the Tamil queue pushers nicely.

[PublicAnimalNo9]

The sad part is EB, those same fucktards that want a return to peacekeeping and soft power still don't want to look after the peacekeepers once their job is done.

[EyeBrock]

Agreed PA9. It's 'Tommy Atkins' all over again.

I blame the mid to high level government bureaucrats for this type of thing. They advise and direct the government then push their own self-serving agendas to keep their little empires intact. They need to cut some fat so they go with downsizing which may affect service which is unpopular and will likely never happen because of public disfavour. They continue status-quo........
