While many of us were furious when we saw the jihadist murder of Patrice Vincent and Nathan Cirillo, one Canadian soldier decided to do something about it.
Dillon Hillier signed up with Kurdish forces and volunteered to fight ISIS just for fun. He lost 30 men taking back a village and the hill that overlooked it while most of us are too scared to use our real face on Twitter.
We can't all be Dillons but we can strive to come closer. Check out his book, One Soldier.

Enforced political correction is poisonous tyranny.
