D Day Ceremonies

Not so, sorry to comment, with the Canadian troops. There were different orders of dress, including kilts, mixed in with current CF green (See Ottawa above). To me, highly distracting and somewhat embarassing, having witnessed the preceeding and following marching troops.

Isn't the idea of a common uniform (oxymoron?) intended to imbue and instill into a serviceman a sense of subordination of self in order to achieve a common goal? If this is true, then our CF are truly diverse. That was not a polite comment.

Jon you may be more prophetic than you realize, I happen to think that these things don't happen by accident I think they are planned that way to embarass the Armed Forces and Veterans. Just consider the entire shambles that has surrounded this event as far as Canadians are concered.
