They're all @ssholes -- and I wouldn't have been too happy serving under any of them.

Exactly under whom would you have considered serving?

It appears to me that you merely would have trouble serving, regardless of who was in charge - which speaks volumes.

From an Infantryman's point of view, your chances of death on any given patrol is directly proportional to your OWN actions, not those of someone thousands of miles away. We all knew that when your time is up, your time is up - no matter what it is you are doing. That's why some make it through that artillery salvo unscathed, while someone two feet away is turned to red mist.

Military service - especially combat arms - requires a self-confidence as well as a type of faith that some people don't ever possess. There's nothing wrong with that - and once you come to grips with it you won't be so touchy about it.

You undermine your credibility with that tagline.

By what measure is Canadian Alberta either strong or free?
