Remembrance day speeches response

First off, my thoughts on General Romeo Dallaire's speech at school.

His speech was good, talking to everyone (the students) at a much more personal level then what  most of us have seen and heard. He hopes that mankind will achieve peace, with a huge help of our generation that he calls "The Global Citizens". That statement is fairly accurate due to our knowledge of advancing technology and social media. And I agree with him and hope as well on the most part but one area, which is the peace itself. 

Within the last two centuries, major wars have been less frequent on a global level due to every nation being connected in some aspect of economics. If a world war were to break out, both sides would be losing certain resources that the nation has become dependent on through imports, and a part of their funds through exports. To keep this short, there would be little to almost no gain to conqueror other nations. From what I can understand about humanity at this point, is that there will always be conflict on some sort in some part of the world. If you were to see these conflicts as not peace, then there never will be. Most of the conflicts in the last century are more so of regional conflict at it's core, or where it started with at least. If someone were to call these conflicts as something else other then a "war", then that could mean we are already in a age of peace, or at the very lest, some limited degree of peace and we just need to maintain it more thoroughly.  

This is just my understanding and view of the world and humanity at this point of time, so things will change over time just as people do.

Moving onto the Guelph's Remembrance day service, on the topic of Dr. Bill Winegarde's speech on veterans with Post Traumatic Stress.

I side with him on the government's treatment for veterans, but I honestly think it'll be hard to change the government's thoughts on how veterans are doing today unless it hits them hard in the face. Judging from what Dr. Winegard said in the speech, they weren't paid with too much of a serious tone from MPs.
