The thing about Canada is the only country that can realistically invade us is America. And if that happened, I'd actually not care at all. I can't decide which is worse: Chretien or Bush. So I doubt I'd notice any difference. I think most Canadians think the same way, which is why we effectively have no military.

democracy, freedom, human rights. These are the three things worth dying for in my book. (you would notice that the word 'country' is nowhere to be found in these words).
However, when your country is in danger of extermination and is not democratic what are you going to do? just abandon it? or fight for it and then fight some more untill it is free and democratic?
so don't perster me with things I have thought about milenia before you did infat

Exactly Asher. The only countries with militaries capable of beating the UK in order to have an invasion are from freedom-loving countries anyway.Originally posted by paiktis22

Paiktis, what's the point in dying for democracy? I'd prefer to be alive in a less democratic country than six feet under.www.my-piano.blogspotComment

Surely? IIRC most people in the US armed forces see it as just another career. Wasn't some of them a bit surprised that they acutally had to fight in Afghanistan?Originally posted by DaShi

Re: Your Opinion Of People Who Have Been In The Military Is Very Low? Don;t Dare Remove T
Well from my personal experience, it is only because they can't get a job doing anything elseOriginally posted by SlowwHand
I want to set you straight on something, bumpkin.
Without someone serving in the military, you would be up to your ass in alligators.
If you don't want to serve, that's one thing, but to make such an ignorant comment lie you did is disgusting.
Had I to do over again, I'd turn people like you over to the oppresor in a heart beat.
I'm sick to death of hearing little spoon fed babes talk such ignorant trash.
You know who you are, and I feel not at all uncomfortable telling you to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
If you don't agree, tough.
I've had worse on my eyeball; and been called much worse by much better people than your little pampered ass.

Funny how you can pick one example and claim that represents "most" of nearly one million people.Originally posted by Urban Ranger

It seems quite ironic that a tough ex-military man gets all hissy and pissy because someone disses the military. You're made of sterner stuff, soldier, I know it.Comment

That's too nice. We're talking about SlowwHand after allOriginally posted by Asher
We've been through this with SlowwHand before. He's being kinda egocentric, but that's to be expected with Texans.
