Just had a brief late-night conversation - mentioned in passing how weird it was to go thru the memorial-hall for WWI and WWII Canadian troops in the university admin building, and one of the people I was with was like "what's wrong with that? I'm proud of indigenous vets". As if :
- indigenous vets are represented in this memorial; they aren't to my knowledge
- fighting for the british empire is a good thing?
- I'm an american and I don't really know
It's just weird when people you respect just expose that they don't really "get it". My Grandpa served, fuckin' everyone did, but what for? To continue Empire, but against the Germans? Why would I die on that hill?
