I feel like other people have been banned for less?

I supposed that this wouldn't affect the investigation on the military side.

I'm guessing that we will also be observing the moment of silence next Saturday, although I don't know how many units might actually be training or operating that day.

Well that's the difference between Fascism and Socialism. In Fascism a certain group of people is denied rights, in Socialism, everyone is.

Truly sad news.

I still think that they ended up on an island with polar bears.

Allegedly, a while ago, a former CO of my unit gave a civilian pipe band permission to wear our kilt (something that he cannot do because he is not the clan chieftain). Needless to say, there are a few people who are upset with it.

I think that Op Honour failed because it attempted to treat the symptoms while ignoring the disease. It felt like Op Honour was more a list of don't: rape, assault, rude comments, etc. It might have worked better if it was more of a lists of do's. The CAF is representative of the Canadian...

I wonder if we are actually going to finally see policies and regulations about service relationships. I'm sure there are some already there, but they have been ignored for years. This is an issue that occurs at every rank level. Some people are professional about it, others aren't. What...

So no more Op Honour. Without using that name, is anything actually going to be different?

I don't think that we are at that point. I've only spoken to a few people outside the military about this (mostly due to covid) and they have recognized that the recent positions shuffles have been because of the actions of two people. We don't even know what one of those people has been...

Do they even have the capacity to do that at that location?
