Re: Bush about to start intergaactic war with ET according to former Canadian defense
I'm with PD on defending the Canadian military, the same way I feel about the Aussies. Whatever war the US has been involved in - or "conflict" if one chooses to call it that - our cousins have been right there...not a coward nor inadequate soldier in the lot.
Due to a writer working on a book about World War II, and my grandfather's love of the camera, the writer contacted him to ask for pics. He also gave my grandfather the name of the Japanese officer who was his equivelent in the Pacific. My grandfather and the Japanese general exchanged letters, then my grandfather flew to Japan to meet him. The Japanese general did some time in an Australian prisoner of war camp, where he proudly stated he made his way up to "head cook." The two were allowed entrance into the Japanese War College. I have a photo somewhere of two old dudes leaning over a map, redoing the war with the fun of kids playing a video game. They also exchanged regimental flags.
I know that story is seriously off topic, but it's one of my favorite comments on war. Watch out for actually meeting your "enemy." You could end up actually liking the guy.
Back to the moon: stay off the Lady, you heathens. Go fight your wars somewhere else, blasphemers.
