These wars now are not about our freedom or defending our country. They are about things like oil and instilling western values on other societies.
Our military now is no more than a terrorist group that is widely accepted because they fight for western values.
But hey if you are cool with soldiers murdering thousands of innocent people that's your choice. Me I choose not to support terrorism.

Well at least we have a measuring stick that you are using.
So again how was WW1 and the Boer War a threat to Canada's freedom again? How many European/African civilians died from the fighting compared to Canadian civilians? Was the ratio more acceptable to you?
Again your formula for acceptance of one and not the other is truly flawed.
As I said if you made an anti war stance to all war then that is an opinion that makes sense. But this checklist of what is a correct war and what is not just doesn't.
It's like you are reading the bible and taking the parts you like and ignoring the rest to fit your POV
