I would say that the military is probably the most complex beast in the federal government, if not all of Canada. As a culture, we're vastly different from pretty much every other culture in Canada. We're the only one that's geared toward lethality. On that note alone, we are very cryptic and very hard for outsiders to read.
While I can acknowledge that the government does a lot of good work in offering up commemoration around Remembrance Day and the materials that the schools will get for educational purposes, it's limited to remembrance season and Veterans' Week, but we as veterans exist every single day of the year.
