Canada’s top soldier is trying to quell the criticism he has faced for his admonishment of military personnel retiring from the forces by acknowledging each has to do what’s best for themselves and their families.
Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre admitted in a new message to military personnel that his comments during a conference in late October “did not sit well with some current and former members.”
Eyre had blamed the military’s sexual misconduct crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic for an exodus of Canadian Forces personnel. “We need our mid-level leaders to dig deep and do this for the institution, to put service before self, not to retreat into retirement, but to advance forward and face the challenges head-on,” Eyre stated then.
