PM goofs

I would like to bring to the attention of the citizens of the Okanagan, especially veterans. Information received from Captain Wayne Johnson, the individual who was the re pat officer in charge of bringing home our war dead from Afghanistan to CFB Trenton.  It must be made clear our Prime Minister Stephen Harper did not attend one ceremony on the tarmac for over 150 deceased veterans who he authorized to be sent into harms way.  Not one. Nor did he meet with the grieving families who were there meeting their loved ones in coffins. PM Harper did attend ceremonies for the two local veterans, one murdered by a deranged person who shot the Cpl at the war memorial and the WO stationed with the R22R. Why? I can’t answer this faux pas.

Now the PM decided to make an unscheduled stop in Kuwait where our 18s fly out of on missions and then to Afghanistan where the Sgt was murdered by the people he was training. After giving 139 million in aide, and showing some of the faces of members of our elite JTF2 force which cannot be over looked, our chief of defence CDS remarked that the inquirery went perfectly. Well CDS if the whole situation where the Sgt was killed went perfectly, the Sgt would not have been killed in the first place. We have got to take a stronger stance when the head of our country and the head of our armed forces just don't seem to care about veterans.  In the next election, we have to make sure we vote in the right person to represent us and get rid of those who do not.
