    From a grizzled, old, Scottish WWII veteran: “Young Man, I’ll tell ya something I learned in the war, never, ever underestimate those Canadians! They are the toughest soldiers I encountered in the war.”

    FTR: he also said he thought Germans were pansies, lol.

    Dead now, but he was a tough SOB, himself (I mean, he WAS Scottish, so that’s a pedigree right there).

        Hah I wish. Society is to soft abdicated to screens and comfort. As long as the masses are entertained almost anything can happen.
