To collect the entire theme may be quite involved and one would seriously get the impression that we treat our own Canadian war veterans, active servicemen and reserves with the utmost solemn reverence and funding. But In truth, not quite, when you talk particularly to the Vets about their inadequate retirement and health care, then the reservists about antiquated equipment and the list it goes on. I think our politicians rather glow and rest in the safety of past glories and not really stand for anything “on guard for thee” than for the present.
