Donations to BC Children Hospital.

Donations are nice things - we all know about this. They help, they save life, they show that people care - amongst other things. We come for grocery shopping to the supermarket and see another call for donations, this time for BC Children Hospital. Is it not a great idea to withdraw - let me assume roughly - only two military helicopters and their personnel from this idiotic war in Afganistan that Canada got involved with and shift all the released funds for BC Children Hospital? I bet all the hospital's needs will be covered in the entire province from that simple and easy operation. Hospitals and their funding are the responsibility of the government through the tax policy. At the bottom line we have already paid to fund the hospitals so why grocery stores try to collect money from us? But - wait a minute - we already paid to fund the military, too. These guys go for stupid war games to Afganistan and kill other people (and their children too) just because they didn't do anything wrong to Canada - we all know that. It seems that the government, in the name of showing support for their partners, have more arguments behind them to fund the military who kill people than to fund the institution that fixes and saves people's life. It seems that - in the eyes of government - there's more justification to destroy life than to protect it. Is it not something "deadly" wrong that in democratic society the "government of the people, by the people, for the people" don't give a bloody f***ing shit to recognize the fact that they have to serve people and others, who never did any harm to us, are humans and have their kids too? How about military guys donating some money to children hospital in Kabul or Kandahar once in a while? Doesn't sound too good to be true?
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Canadian government, let alone their military servants...
