Sober second thought: A half-hearted defence of Don Cherry, Stephen Harper and Julian Fantino in military drag

A reader writes in response to my commentary on the politicization by so-called conservatives of Remembrance Day: "What combat unit did Don Cherry, Stephen Harper, Julian Fantino and the other chicken hawks ever serve in?"

Good question. A more complicated and serious one, though, it is said here, than it would appear on its face.
