I believe that so long as one of us remembers, they are not truly gone.
As we prepare for Remembrance Day let us remember Leo Alfred St. Jacques.

I’m sure the troops busted a f*cking gut reading this.🙄
June, 1918: the Major-General is not happy with the language used by #Canadians in the Second Division. #WWI @2divca_2candiv

A legend has passed on, but do long as we remember, they live on.
John Blanche has died, I was just informed by his family. I have no words right now, that will have to wait. Farewell, old friend.

Ethical soldiers are more resilient than non-ethical ones.
If your leaders are making unethical decisions during simulations then yes, that should be tested and corrected. Because train as you fight.
Fighting ethically doesn’t mean you don’t throw a punch when it’s needed.

Ethics ethics ethics what is this fucking obsession with ethics?
I was talking to some officers about testing leadership in simulations recently.
The first question I got from some major after talking about LARGE SCALE COMBAT was “the first thing we should look to test is ethical decision making”.
I was beside myself.
This overly feminized society that has become brittle from political correctness is obsessed with ethics and virtue signaling.
To the point where they don’t even realize that the main thing the military needs to do is throw a punch.
Like we’re talking about testing because we question the ability of many officers to be able to throw that punch. And yet still we get met with ethics ethics ethics.
Are we unethical or something? Are there mass US war crimes I’m unaware of that actually fit the definition and not just how some soy latte drinker feels?
You want to talk about “ethics”? Start with fucking readiness and the metrics you lie about every single day in an effort to not rock the boat and keep your jobs.
Spare me.
War on the rocks is a filthy rag anyway. I’m just here to point it out.

Is putting unnecessary levels of approval in the way of granting leave ethical? Is saying, “Anyone who only meets the minimum standard one area isn’t really a good soldier, despite what they do elsewhere” a fair/ethical evaluation?

Arguing ethical behaviour by leaders and troops is unnecessary is simply stating, “We accept unethical/criminal behaviour so long as we win.”

Check on your people. Know that you're not alone. This is so very sad.

Reasonable article, reasonable conclusions.
And then the usual suspects join in to argue “degrees/not current infantry - opinions discarded” and “we just need to kill people, law and ethics are for losers.”
I weep.

The military spends years hardening bodies and sharpening minds for combat. It spends almost nothing preparing warfighters for the moment their values collide with the reality of war. warontherocks.com/2026/05/th…

Thank you ti the @RCAA_AARC for hosting the Coast to Coast Toast for an early Arty Day. The briefing on future developments for the Royal Regt makes me wish my knee wasn’t busted more than usual. I think we’re on the cusp of changes as radical as the intro of of indirect fire.

I need to thank my family, especially my wife @QueenOfLaundry (who proof read), my sons (who provided inspiration) and Mom.
I love you all.

To push this further, people have rights only because people within society agree those rights are yours.
A God didn’t give you rights - your ancestors demanded them from the elites, and didn’t stop until they got them.
The only reason women have any rights is because WOMEN got loud and difficult and demanded those rights. The next time a man tells you “men gave you rights” tell him to stfu and read a history book.
