Our soldiers in WWI were all enlisted together, villages of young men who had deep roots who'd do anything to get out alive together, and their behavior was notorious.
No one was more vicious than the Canadians in WWI.
Now imagine they're Canadians protecting Canadian soil.

Some of us heeded (and valued) your warnings. Too bad we weren't, ultimately, the ones who mattered.
