    We should all be willing to serve Canada’s needs, and we absolutely need a much stronger military to survive the unfortunate dumpster fire that the rest of the world has chosen to make itself into. I would volunteer for service if they would have me (they won’t, because I’m old and fat now and they aren’t flexible enough to give me the support I would need to handle my other responsibilities while I would serve) but if we end up at war, you better damn believe I’m going to find a way to serve somehow, bureaucracy and other responsibilities be damned.

      I served. If you want to serve then you make changes in your life and expectations.

      Being old is the only hard wall if you really want to serve.
