Life's a [censored], human's hate each other, everyone wants what the
other has, yet the west has developed the concept of Human Rights, and
their citizens have shown up, and died for liberty and freedom,
voluntarily for a century now.
Doesn't matter what your political take is, those folks manning the
thin line let you decide what society we have. Stop spitting on them
and salute their sacrifice, they only do what the people YOU elect
tell them to, even if they disagree. You really don't want troops who
decide when, and where to show up.
We give, and have given, so you have the freedom to build a better
society for all of us, without external pressure.
Honor us, by keeping the Bill of Rights, and the Canadian Charter.

Quoted:
Unsurprisingly, veterans who had been awarded medals tended to rate
themselves higher for qualities like leadership, adventurousness and
adaptability. Results became more intriguing when researchers divided
medal earners into two groups: those who enlisted ("eager heroes"😉 and
those who were drafted ("reluctant heroes"😉. The reluctant heroes
scored higher than any other group in selflessness and working well
with others.The study suggests that quiet heroes rely on a deep sense of duty and
esprit de corps as opposed to derring-do. That sentiment was echoed by
several of the medal-earning veterans interviewed separately for this
story.To a man, they downplayed any notion of heroism.
