Because 66,944 in the First World War, 45,300 in the Second World War, 516 in the Korean War and 20 in the Balkans conflict and 158 in Afghanistan mean nothing to trash:
What is going on here?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took the opportunity to snap selfies with fans at Ottawa’s National War Memorial, as people were paying their respects to Canada’s fallen soldiers on Remembrance Day.
He saw no issue in arriving "fashionably late" or taking his undeserved place in the middle of the ceremony or cracking jokes with empty-headed creatures who, like him, thoughtlessly flapped about without a care or thought of the solemnity of the occasion.
These men are simply out of place in the new Canada, the one where directionless meat-puppets have sparked a thought that, maybe, there is no future for Canada, let alone them in Canada:
It’s not easy to find the last resting spot of Cpl. Francis Pegahmagabow.
Whether by design or happenstance, the First World War sniper’s grave sits apart from the larger cemetery in the Wasauksing First Nation near Parry Sound, Ont. Still, it’s likely the man known as “Peggy” would have considered the spot to be perfect.
Pegahmagabow isn’t a name that first comes to mind when discussing the Great War, which speaks more to his ancestry than the fact he’s the most decorated Indigenous soldier in Canadian history.
“Francis’s story is a story that I wouldn’t say was forgotten, but it certainly was one of those sleeping stories in our history,” says his great-grandson, Brian McInnis.

When asked about why he signed up in 1942, Sinclair said simply, “I didn’t have to (go to war) but I felt it was my duty.”
Consider Mr. Sinclair's words.
"... duty ..."
Now consider that people who are ostensibly adults could not bring themselves to remain quiet and composed for the duration of the Remembrance Day ceremony or even just keeping quiet for two minutes.
Consider having to make excuses for a frat-boy who is nearly fifty years old and has nothing but a string of failures and embarrassments to define his time in office.
Mssrs. Pegahmagabow and Sinclair should wonder why they were the adults who carried out logistically and personally difficult tasks for ingrates and dolts.
What a waste.
Also:
Mounties in Kelowna, B.C., are investigating after dozens of people protesting vaccine mandates disrupted an informal Remembrance Day gathering at the city's cenotaph on Thursday.
But they still don't care who burned those churches.

War dashes dreams, and young men see visions that they wish they could forget. War sees to it that many of the young do not grow old. For those who do, war makes it hard to dream again. It is surely the case that Europe has never truly recovered its confidence from the civilizational suicide of the Great War.
