Not like telling people to stop has ever made them stop either. Its a mind set that you cant just flip a switch, they will just make a new group and i hope CFNIS got screen shots of the entire groups members list.

I suspect that merely being a member won't be enough to see anything happen. People join FB groups, then never participate or even see the posts. I'm guessing the active participants will be the ones to see remedial measure or charges, and the rest might get a "you should know better".

Jesus put the pitchforks away. There was only 1 or 2 comments that showed up publicly as screenshots that are concerning (comments or nudity in uniform), the other screenshots were just posts from 10 years ago from a movie 10 years before that. I'm certain if there was anything more concerning it would have been made publicly available by now, so this is nothing a few RMs and education can't sort out.

With a CDS who was the original CPCC leader, I'm guessing that 'pitchforks' might be the least of their worries...

Just to remind y’all that a sitting government has disbanded regiments. I don’t foresee this happening in this case but heads will roll.

If they go by the France framework, you can always crank up a 2nd Camerons of Ottawa regiment without having a 1st

1st Foreign Parachute Regiment | French Foreign Legion Information

History and photos of the 1st Foreign Parachute Regiment of the French Foreign Legion, a successor to the 1st Foreign Parachute Battalion. Well-ordered data.

In that case, though, said regiment said FU to DeGaulle about GTFO Algeria, so that was a bit higher end offence.

And were about to invade Paris, IIRC.
