	Call and Response February 2004
		The cultured Canadian response to military deaths such as that of Corporal Jamie Murphy in Afghanistan seems to be one of understandable regret coupled with an unfortunate spasm of contempt for the militarism that requires us to fight for important matters.
		When the oglers of grief at CBC were able to get their predictable cry of anguish from the fallen soldier’s family, they withdrew, content then to play the sought after soundbite denouncing the powers-that-be for sending this Newfoundlander to his death on foreign soil.
		Murphy's death might later be shown to be in vain if, as now seems possible, Afghanistan descends into a narco-state”….

		We are not alone in this war on terror, the three soldiers lost to the dogs of terror, sons of our country and Knights for Peace are in good company with the brave souls from our southern nieghbors.
		In all fairness though, in peacetime the death of a soldier is hardly mentioned.
		when those freedoms are interfered with and infringed upon we rely on our soldiers individually to make the difference in the lives of strangers, those like you and me. it might seem as call of duty, and yes now the world is full of heroism.

		In most armies of the world a soldier who is not an officer can in theory work their way through the ranks to obtain a commission.
		A soldier who no longer serves in the armed forces is often called a veteran, a term which can also apply to a long-serving or experienced soldier who is still in the army.
		The word soldier is derived from an Old French word, itself a derivation of Solidarius, Latin for someone who served for pay, as opposed to warriors in tribal society where every grown man is automatically a member of his clan's fighting force.
