Those Syrian refugees that you guys crap all over would know more about the horror of war than the rest of the Canadian population combined ever will, at this point in our history.

My father served with Sikhs, Ghurkas and Hindu soldiers in Ceylon (Always said that the Sikhs were a true warrior race). I served with all sorts of types including a lot of French Canadians ... yes, lots of white Wasps, too.
