That is not a question that one can provide a simple or quick answer to. There are many factors here, not the least of which is the history of the last 50 years and the sense that Canadians have of themselves and their military, which is changing and needs to change.
In my opening remarks, I boiled it down to one thing, and it's called leadership. I'm not pointing fingers; I genuinely am not. I consider myself responsible for that. I did in uniform and I continue today because of what I've done as a professional. I think everybody in the military, every politician--irrespective of political stripe--people in business and academia, all have a responsibility to understand these complex issues and provide leadership to the Canadian people. We have become, in my humble view, lazy and irresponsible in what is really a collective responsibility on the international stage.
