As a veteran and one who has become to hate the government for what they don't do to look after their soldiers (i.e. they feel their is no Sacred Obligation).  When they start respecting soldiers/veterans and taking care of them properly, then they will get respect back.  What I am eluding to is the fact that many veterans/retirees still wear their uniform with pride (and although they are apparently not allowed) I support that!  You don't see any lame politician sending their kids off to war.....that is because they know they won't be looked after upon their return should they be physically or mentally injured!  Don't join........the government (Harper/Trudeau) don't care about you and the MVA (Minister of Veterans Affairs) is an unfortunate puppet who does what he is told.  DDD (Delay, Deny, Die).
