Comment: The Canadian Military is in business to protect our country and not to be nice guys. We do have nice guys in the Forces, but that's a bonus. We need to do some "reverse spin". In other words, we need to let the Canadian public know what a military is about, and how good ! our troops are. If we don't, we'll have no one to blame but ourselves. 

Bravo Zulu on an excellent page.
