Alexander,
Do not presume to lecture me about servicemen's humour.
I still fail to see what the hell you are implying with your 'cultural differences' speech. Are you suggesting that it is only Canadians with a misty-eyed devotion to the 'Mother Country' that support this war? Well actually the bulk of my friends in Canada are from the Ukrainian community in Winnipeg. They have been in Canada since about 1945 and the only Mother Country they have ties to is Ukraine.
However, they know what it's like to live under a vicious dictatorship...

PS Moscow that is - not Ottawa!
