Welcome to the only profession where you can be ordered to do something that will get you killed because that is what the mission requires.Cdn Blackshirt said:I don't think it is reasonable to ask our acting serving men and women, their spouses and children to accept that should a conflict break out, we have planned that the force to be wiped out in it's entirety.

Hmmmm....I wonder if there was a lesson that should've been learned from that?
