it's not so much about doing the bleeding, there hasn't been a Canadian PM with military experience since Pearson, and Pearson, though a volunteer, never saw combat in World War 1. It's about maturity coupled with a deep understanding of foreign relations and the nature of the modern role of military intervention...it's about serving Canada's interests. 

Justin Trudeau lives and breathes a romantic view of geo-politics...it's nonsense, but it's well-manipulated, self-serving nonsense.
