Not only did this man answer the call to protect his homeland under circumstances we can scarcely imagine, he returned to rebuild a country.
His sacrifices were repaid by the gradual dissolution of the values and character that comprised the country. They were replaced with softness, relativism, and the thuggery that preys on the former:
One could go on and on all day about the thuggery but if you've brought up one barbaric terrorist attack, incidence of child grooming, arrest of ordinary citizens over online comments, or wave of unvetted, military-aged men who do nothing all day, you've really brought up all of it.
It's rather like claiming you never brought a Nazi into the House of Commons.
If you told the boys at Juno Beach that, they would have dropped their guns and headed back to Saskatoon.
What was it all for?
Anyway, pin on your poppy, mumble your platitudes, and twiddle your thumbs during the eleventh hour.
When Mr. Penstone passes away, you can go back to your idle pleasures and pretend that he never said the bad thought-provoking thing.
