Grab, no offense taken. I posted this because it is typical of what we see at a military base and I wondered about the accuracy both of the opinion and, to a lesser extent, the facts.

I was overjoyed to hear that it was 35 years old and out of date because the young officers, some younger than the article, are all wandering around pumped up and happy that all of Canada now appreciates them. I am getting a great deal of pleasure deflating them.

(Just so you all know, I don't work here because I am a gung ho patriot though I am very proud of my country. It is my job, not my life. I am the round peg in a very square hole. The fact that I have achieved a level of authority irks the strictly conservative military types when they see me in my T-shirts, jeans, long hair, and beard. In recent years the hair has been shorter but not because of anything they said.)
