You are not alone
The US is not alone in the of its . It shames me to say that too has a lot to account for.
, the , released a scathing report today on the staus of health care for Canadian Armed Forces Reservists.
reservists are often denied the medical benefits offered to full-time soldiers and are receiving far less compensation for their injuries. Care that is delivered to reservists isn’t always adequate or ongoing, and not always delivered in a timely manner.
McFadyen said it’s “clearly unfair” that reservists aren’t given the same level of care, considering they are increasingly asked to fill the same risky roles as regular members of the military.
“If you’re expecting the reservist to take the same job, make the same risks, they should get the same compensation,” McFadyen said Thursday in a telephone interview from Ottawa.
This is, in a word,. Regardless of the fact that this has been going on for much longer than they have been in office, the have an opportunity here to put their money where their mouths are. They are war mongers who consistently spout off about beefing up the Armed Services (which for them appears to consists of handing juicy contracts for new ships etc. to their buddies) so how about it Steven.
