....AND THEN I WAS PRESS GANGED BY THE PSAC
"The veterans' rage toward Fantino was put on display for the whole country to see. What wasn't told was their trip to Ottawa was paid for by the Public Service Alliance of Canada. The whole show was orchestrated."
There was a couple of vets on the radio yesterday. Both suffered from PTSD. They were trying to make it sound like they were hard done by. I can't figure that part out because my cousin is ex-army and he suffers from PTSD and he has been very, very well taken care of.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to make of all this PTSD stuff. I knew lots of WWII and Korean Vets who had been through a lot of prolonged combat and none of them had PTSD. I think men were mentally and physically tougher back then. I think each new generation gets more protected by Mommy and society and the boys are not as able to deal with stress and strain when they are men.
But one thing is pretty clear. If our recruiting branches don't come up with some kind of testing to eliminate army applicants who are likely to get PTSD, our Veterans' Affairs office is going to have us in the poorhouse just like Indian Affairs.
I heard something similar in this part of the country. Several Vets were on Ottawa radio and at least one of them was a PTSD case. He was talking about 'thousands' of soldiers suffering from that same thing. I think this PTSD stuff a lot like all those investigations into little boys who get buggered in religious schools. There are certainly some real victims, but there a heck of a lot of opportunists.
DeleteWait till CBC finds out that these Vets were "USED"! There'll be hell to pay!
ReplyDeleteI don't think they were 'used' at all. They knew who it was who contacted them, they knew who paid the shot. any veteran with smarts and dignity would have said "thanks but no thanks, You're not going to piggyback your commie agenda on the back of my issue."
