In this episode, Marty and I ponder how civilians can better appreciate and understand the experiences of military personnel. We stress the need for better public education about Canada’s military history and contemporary involvement in international conflicts. Beyond honouring our fallen on Remembrance Day, we advocate for awareness and celebration of veterans and active duty members. The discussion reflects on historical and modern perceptions of the military, the importance of integrating military and civilian communities, and the complexities of forming public opinion to positively highlight military service and its contributions to our national security.
