here is one such coverup that occurred in the sixties, that caused many to leave the forces and to this day most don‘t really know what happened to them, in about the spring of 1964 the foces went to people serving in overseas posts BAOR for example, gave them a bs story about them being required to re-enlist (many reasons given, beaurocratic **** up was one) they were given small bonus and as part of program their innoculations were updated, with for many devistating consequences, because some were innoculated with the usual vacinnes (control) the others were injected with experimental products including an anthrax vaccine. Many of these victims came down with an assortment of horrifing ailaments including sterility, fathering children with birth defects of various types, a multitude of glandular problems. It was so bad thousands of career people got out, some thrown out several suicides resulted. It was so bad that an excuse was needed quickly, the mass exodus was blamed on the integration of the forces and that fiasco. Only those that had access to inside information, mostly officers etc ever got compensated if one can be compensated for such atrocities. This was all covered up both by senior military types and politicians. So goes the duty of commanders looking after their people. The result is the lack of respect for the military that veterans have, even though they don‘t know the whole story, they know they‘ve been screwed by their own officers. Any senior types tempted to spill the beans etc were severely threatened. So when you think that as soldiers you are not appreciated you are sorely misstaken, it is the cowardly business as usual aspect that causes many Canadians to object to more funding etc for the forces, they have long memories. You guys are highly respected, your regiments are proudly respected, your efforts are heroic, we know all this! The rot is at the TOP!!!
