Come on guys, cut poor Jean some slack... when was the last PM we had that had any military background?
Actually, it was PET... anybody surprised?
Canadian Army Home Service / Canadian Army Reserve
Officer cadet
Served in Canadian Officers' Training Corps from 1943 to 1945 in Montreal during World War II, but never deployed overseas
Before that, John Diefenbaker and Lester Bowles Pearson both served during WW1... the only Canadian PMs who ever served as officers and overseas.
