A rebrand could help military shed inglorious past

There is no institution more steeped in its own traditions and ceremony than that of the CAF, but many of the former battlefield glories may not seem as honourable when viewed through the prism of today’s values.

Members of The Royal Canadian Dragoons conduct patrols at Garrison Petawawa on March 24. Many of the names currently used for military units are so long out of date as to be laughable and arguably misleading. Our armoured units have tanks or reconnaissance vehicles, they do not ride horses, yet they bear names like Dragoons, writes Scott Taylor. DND photograph by Corporal Sarah Morley
