Robert Smol: Why we should unionize the military
“Past and present military thinkers have all told us that the individual soldier is the greatest resource. Yet the interests of this greatest resource are placed last behind all other political and bureaucratic concerns. A military association or union would place these interests on an equal footing.”

“”The Battle of Frezenberg forged the regiment as a combat effective force,”” said 12966 Lieutenant-General Marquise Hainse, Commander Canadian Army.
“”Despite great losses, the soldiers fought bravely that day as they found themselves holding the line. Today’s soldiers of the PPCLI carry on this distinguished legacy and they, like those who fought before them, are strong, proud, and ready for another century of service.”” Article
