Interesting to observe two very experienced former senior army officers run for the Liberals, and the Conservatives seem to attract air force types (Hawn and the bloke in the upper-right of the picture). I wonder if that says something about institutional cultures...

The Libs have to RCAF types. One was the first woman to command a flying squadron. The other was an F-18 driver. I was surprised that Andrew Leslie didn't make it to cabinet.

Yes, Willy, perhaps I am. Doesn't Jason Kenney exude that Rambo nature or Captain Red Rose?
