Unfortunately, the wars in my lifetime have been Vietnam and the Gulf War, neither one which to me seemed all that necessary. But I don't think Canada was involved with either one of those conflicts, was it?Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-92164471707590270502020-11-11T22:17:24.420-07:002020-11-11T22:17:24.420-07:0011:11 on 11/11.

Lots of lesbians, being feisty and independent women keen on active lives, served in the military (or if they weren't allowed to enlist, then serving as nurses and ambulance drivers) -- then and now, of course.
