Certainly this Canadian Fighter Pilot put his gunsights where his mouth is.

If Canadian youth want to do something with their life, instead of directing their energy on negativity, dedicate your energy in serving your country. There is no life like it.

Let's hope the Government doesn't get all politically correct and send him on a recruiting drive, and put him where pilots belong, in a fighter jet!

VANCOUVER - As the first member of the Canadian Air Force to wear a turban, 2nd Lieut. Jasbir Singh Tatla figures he's a good role model to issue a call to arms to his fellow Sikhs.

And if you want to honour the Sikh tradition of being warriors, Tatla says, don't get involved in gangs and criminal activity. Instead, he says, sign up with the Canadian Forces, where you can make a real difference and fight - for your country.
