    The people in the war should pay for it.

    I wouldn't be valuable as a soldier, my skills are better used elsewhere, so I'll be elsewhere.

    It's obviously a last-resort tactic to tell people who support the war to go join the army. So you boys should rethink that one...

      Well said.

        boys can come home.

          So, you're saying that those of us who DON'T support the war... which is the majority of the country... should do more than you're doing (which is apparently nothing)?

          If you don't do anything, why should Canada? Put your money where your mouth (or keyboard ) is.

            The computer people seldom are out in the battlefield I'm told.

              Do you realize you're making no sense?

              I think that Canada should join in, and help pay for, the war.

              As a Canadian taxpayer, I'd be helping fund that just as everyone else.

              You also don't understand that people have different roles in society. Not everyone can, and not everyone should, join the military (I wouldn't be permitted in the US forces because of my sexuality anyway).

              If we followed your logic, the only people who'd ever have a say in war are the people in the military.

              You sure you don't wanna change your tune?

              And as NYE said, as someone who opposes the war, unless you go and do something about it, perhaps YOU should be quiet, da?

              Go step infront of a tank, go be a human shield. Hey, it's your logic.

                  Right, you decide what you'll be doing.

                  They need grunts, Infantry not techs, just like
                  every other war in history, people start on supply
                  and end up in a rifle squad.

                    Maybe we should adopt Six Thousand Year Old Man's suggestions, although I don't think he thought them through.

                  • The country's position on war and conflict can only be decided by people in the armed forces.
                  • The more you contribute and pay in taxes to the country, the more your vote is worth.

                    Score. That'd be one sweet nation.

                      Hey Ozz, maybe you don't understand how it works.

                      I do computers. I'm not a fighter.

                      Any smart military assigns someone to what they're good at. I've already got half a degree (a bit more, actually) in computer science, which entitles me to a $20,000 signing bonus alone in the Canadian Forces.

                      They aren't going to pay me $20K to sign up, and then go make me a grunt. I'd obviously be trained in the information systems.

                      College students tend to become officers, not grunts. And college students with technically useful college degrees tend to go into those fields, and don't become field commanders.

                          I'm one of the people who realizes how absolutely REAL it is.

                          Of course I'm the one moaning about the brain drain, why the eyeroll?

                          There are reasons so many compsci students fly south. Ottawa doesn't care, Asian immigrants take our position when we leave.

                          Ottawa considers that okay, I think Ottawa should work on building up industries rather than barely sustaining.

                          But hey, I'm no politician.
