Macron has just urged the French to join the military reserve.

“We are entering a new era”. France will have to spend more on defence. “The threat that Russia represents imposes choices on us”

I can assure you that standards are not lower for women in the military in Canada. They expect every solider to be ready and able to do what they're trained to do. That's why they all to go through basic, so they can root out those who don't have what it takes.

This is our top ranking officer.

Good. With the transition between PM's going on, I figured General Carignan would be there.

It must grate on Trump so bad that our top miliary officer is a woman. 😁
