A recent news report says Canada’s defence planners are working on how the country could rapidly expand its forces in a national emergency.
The planning includes non traditional roles and mentions older Canadians and people who might not meet full combat fitness standards.
If the country asked for volunteers under this kind of plan, would you step forward?
Why or why not?
Well I’m depressed and laid off. I doubt we’d be doing much unethical stuff. If I had to go overseas to shoot strangers I’d quit. But saving people in a disaster, or defending against invading yankees? I could see myself joining.
I don’t think it is overseas, just local. Unless they bring in conscription I guess.
