Ya-hoo the curl is back! And admirals' rank is again on the sleeve. Never should have been changed back in'68!

I just went through all the photos and I don't believe it. The marching contingent have to carry a sign along with the Canadian Flag to identify which country they're from?

WTF

[gonavy47]

While in uniform, I've been asked if I was a security guard, or another time, if I was a cop. People don't recognize Canadian military uniforms because they rarely see them. The public needs to be taught more about our military.

The public are grade one plonkers.

I think the big problem is our schools are very anti military because the leftist parents get into groups and scream bloody murder when the schools talk about the Canadian Forces because "you are trying to turn our children into soldiers". So Canadians are not being taught in school about the CF and its history.

In high school a lady came into my school and freaked out in the office because we had a army recruitment poster up saying that the school was trying to turn us into murderers. So we (the students) ended up running her out of the school, still not sure if she was a parent or not though.

Congrats to my brothers in blue.

Uniforms not withstanding, I was kind of assuming the flag might be a giveaway.

And that, in a nutshell, is the fatal flaw in democracy.
