Canadian Armed Forces lets men wear skirts

Check out this story at CBC. Not only can a dude wear a skirt, but he can spice up his look with a little hair dye and some facial tattoos! According to acting CAF boss General Wayne Eyre, the only senior officer not implicated in a sex scandal, yet, the new dress code reflects the commitment to diveristy, inclusion, and equity. That’s all very nice in a nice Canadian sort of way, but are we not missing the big picture here? At the end of the day, “armed forces” have but one purpose, and it isn’t promoting social fads. It’s to kill people, people who you see as a threat to your country. According to the latest propaganda assault, the people we should be killing are the evil Russians, and possibly by next week the evil Chinese and Iranians too. I’m skeptical about how our diversity & inclusion obsessed armed forces will do against the armed forces of our adversaries, who were trained to kill the enemy. On the other hand, it’s possible to see the upside. Some of the boldest warriors in the history of Canada were the immigrants from Scotland. Those dudes wore skirts all the time. Think of this as kilts making a comeback.
