Hopefully I won't die anytime soon so I have lots of time around to witness the results of the current decisions being made, as do many others. If you get aggressive about that then that speaks to the ignorance we have from today's leaders.
I must say Canada is an awesome nation and I think they have a lot of good things going for them.
They didn't "weed you out", you said that your eyes were good enough to qualify you or flying. That wouldn't have kept you out of the military if you wished o serve in another capacity. I suggested in another thread that you look into becoming a flight surgeon since you showed an interest in the medical profession.
If you mean that it is against the TOS to have political discussions on APC when you say "[I] get upset", then you are correct, though I can remember no time in the past when we have ever discussed either conflict. If you would like to discuss those issues that you brought up in your post, there are numerous politically motivated forums or you to join.
Yes- Canada is a great nation and one of the great things they have going for them is a military (and they even have airplanes)
