Ronald Speirs: You know why you hid in that ditch, Blithe? [I was scared.] We were all scared. You hid in that ditch because you think there’s still hope. But, Blithe… the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you’re already dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you’ll be able to function as a soldier’s supposed to function. Without mercy. Without compassion. Without remorse. All war depends upon it. / +

🇨🇦 The Rev. Robert S. H. Greene of Calgary, passed away peacefully in his sleep on October 16, 2017 at the age of 94 years. Born in Toronto, Ontario, on January 14, 1923, he served in a tank crew with Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians), and fought in Italy, France, Belgium, Germany and the liberation of Holland during World War Two. His wartime experience led him to pursue a calling as a priest in the Anglican Church. At least twice, his own tank was hit and its entire crew killed while he was on duty elsewhere, he told the Calgary Herald in a 2003 interview.

Changed by the war, Greene said in a 2015 interview he couldn’t imagine returning to the same line of work after seeing so much death and destruction.

“A lot of men, much better men than I ever was, were killed,” Greene said. “What am I supposed to do? Go back and work in the bank after I’d seen some of my closest friends killed? I thought, ‘What is the real purpose of my life?’ #rip #canada #calgary #war #history #wwii #ww2

also life has a funny way of working out because when I was a kid I wanted to be just like Hawkeye Pierce because he was funny and charming and brilliant and now I am just like Hawkeye Pierce but it’s because I’m bitter and tired all the time.

This judge had exactly the right reaction to the shameful way nonviolent prisoners are treated in US jails

A woman was denied pants or tampons after being arrested for not completing a diversion course that was part of her sentencing from a shoplifting charge. But see how the judge reacts when she finds out that the prisoner’s humiliating treatment is apparently routine.
