Alright, so I am sorry to the moderators if I have posted this in the wrong section of the forum, however I really as a Canadian Soldier and more importantly a Canadian citizen despise the way we as a public treat our men and women in arms. Today on Canada day, myself and 3 of my brothers were downtown Ottawa to celebrate the freedom we as members as the CF fight for everyday. After celebrating with our extended family's at a concert we decided to go out and celebrate some more. Now I know you think as guys in the military we got too rowdy or too loud, however we never made it in. We got in the line up, as we were talking to one of the bouncers waiting to get in he told us positively told us just because we were military it was unlikely we would be getting in. After turning us away, one of the bouncers who could tell we were in the forces called us "fagots" to our backs as we walked away. Now I don't know if he had a bad night our he was not supportive of the CF, but on a day we celebrate our heritage, our community's and the people who protect our country, it made us wonder if those we protect really understood why our other brothers have given their lives overseas. Suffice to say, we felt extremely alone while celebrating our country's birthday.
