Wearing of uniforms (Canada)

[Little Jo]

Hi Guys

I agree with Lang, nothing looks worse than someone trying to recapture their youth and trying to look like they once did, and we all know that is an impossibility. But it just doesn't look right when you see photos of guys with long hair and beards in full uniform, and we will see them again, just wait for the next lot of photos from the D-Day functions. I bet most of them are "wannabies" who never served anyway.

But what worries me is now that Canada is changing the law you can bet our politicians in Australia, the majority who have never served in the armed forces will follow the leader. I am always proud to see some of our veterans from WW2 who can still get into their uniform on Anzac Day and still march proudly with their mates, I am very sure the public watching the march also share their proud moment. But if it ever becomes law then what will happen to that terrific spectacle of the guys on horseback riding in the march as a Light Horse Troop. I think at times we go to far with political correctness.

Cheers

Tony
