That was Pierre Trudeau who was Prime Minister when you first became of military age.
The height of the Cold War, Thatcher, Reagan, Schmidt, Kohl Pope John, Lech Wałęsa, but you were avoiding military service and continued to do so for decades.
You were even avoiding military service when I was joining your Canadian Airborne Association to show solidarity with your Special Operations Regiment.
Trudeau was followed by Mulroney who continued in Quebec worship (more actually).
Why join a peacetime military where you have no career prospects ?
(the Cold War “patriotism” of Trudeau, Mitterand, and Andreotti was not sufficient incentive)
Let me ask again: do you advise against white men joining the current US military, or is the need for cannon fodder against Russia more important than truthful career advice ?
“You were even avoiding military service when I was joining your Canadian Airborne Association to show solidarity with your Special Operations Regiment.”
After 2006 ?

I was 42 years old, and the Cold War was long over.
“...when I was joining your Canadian Airborne Association to show solidarity with your Special Operations Regiment.”
Maybe you mean the Canadian Airborne Regiment, which was disbanded by Chretien and Collenette, along with a 25% military budget cut ?

This is the proud military I am supposed to have joined ?
