If you think that's what I said YOU'RE daft.

Well, I didn't say you did. But if I had I would certainly have many statements of yours which make strong implications otherwise.

not in their current career they can't.

Assuming the danger pay isn't an integral part of the rationalization process tells me you don't have a lot of soldiers in your family.

If you need help understand the English language so as not to make unintentional implications there are many guides on the internet for people with english as a second language. I would suggest you partake in some as implications such as those can derail a point you are actually trying to make.

...explaining why calling it a hostility bonus isn't that much of a stretch.

:puke:
I think he's saying its because it means they signed the contract voluntarily. I tend to agree with him and quite frankly I'm sick of them being treated like they're the second coming of Christ.

Take away the danger pay and see how many of them are left that want to play hero from the safe side of the wire.

I'm surprised to learn the military doesn't pay for funerals. In fact I find that hard to believe.

But I looked it up and yes, many families of Canadian soldiers are out of pocket for funeral expenses exceeding $4675. The average cost of a funeral is $7500, not counting the cost of a plot and monument.

That's terrible. Anyone have a petition I can sign?

good to meet someone new who can figure out what I'm up to. I prefer my sacred cows roasted.

fwiw, just like everyone else in the country I think the policy needs to be updated. What's got my dander up about this fiasco is once again the arms dealer has to lie through his teeth about how he's been handling it like lying is the only thing he knows how to do.

O'Connor SHOULD have just said "its under review" and moved on like what comes naturally to any politician worth his salt. But no. He claims he changed the policy last year and in doing so effectively blamed the civil service for what seems to be nothing more than his word of mouth not becoming practice.

On the bright side, that'll come back to bite him in the ass.
