			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was having a little bit of a discussion with a friend yesterday about people who join the Canadian Forces. The lady I was talking to said she supported their decision but does not like the army.</p>
<p>She went into a rant in greater detail and explained that she hates the way young people often are victims in armed conflict and that war is profitable to major corporations.</p>
<p>I tried to be neutral and explain that whenever there&#8217;s an armed conflict and soldiers are sent into battle &#8211; they don&#8217;t go into a battle for profit; at least a Canadian soldier&#8217;s primary motivation into going into battle isn&#8217;t to get rich. I told her that Canadian soldiers serve and stand on the front line or stand on a wall to protect her and the rest of Canada&#8217;s population while they sleep, and that there&#8217;s a need for that.</p>
<p>I also told her about the bumper sticker I saw that reads &#8216;If you don&#8217;t support our troops, feel free to stand in front of them&#8217;. Interesting caption huh?</p>
