Army.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old



Peace and freedom are two opposite things. You cannot have both. You can choose to willingly submit your freedom for peace, or fight against those who would reign peace upon you at the expense of your freedom. So for those of you who advocate peace above all else, be careful, because without greater men than yourselves, you might just get it.
