The problem with the men and women working today is they have no work to do in many situations, every job is filled with gadgets that do the work. The people sit around watching a screen do the work.
Our minds need to be challenged with constructive work to stay alert and feel useful. When we feel we are not needed we bring it home and destroy our families with our attitudes and negative actions and go to extremes with drugs, alcohol, or sex. We are completely self focused and the children are abused with neglect as well as wives and husbands.
We are also destroying our service men by not keeping them in the army and giving them something to do for Canada. They could build bridges that are needed in Canada also roads & other things that are federal responsibilities . They are already trained, some are engineers and others can be trained quickly because they have the attitude needed to serve the public interests of Canada. It would work if each individual would be allowed to put their ideas and knowledge in a pool for the benefit of every one & everyone learned to speak openly and truthfully. That would give them self esteem, respect and a feeling of helping their fallen members by helping the country. In this way we could enlarge the armed forces, pay them more because we wouldn't have to pay others for the work they need.
We could also use a lot of the injured men. Canada would win, the soldiers would win security for their families. Go Canada. Expand your thinking. Let's show our soldiers we love and honour them.
