079: Blowing the Whistle on Canada’s Armed Forces

Former Canadian infantryman Nathan and Canadian Navy Officer Isaac are joined by Non-Commissioned seaman Jack and Royal Canadian Airman Mark to speak openly and brutally honestly about the major issues the Canadian Armed forces are experiencing. Everything from recruitment and retaining ability dropping to embarrassing and unsustainable levels, how procurement (or lack thereof) of up to date equipment is putting service members lives at risk during peacetime, the lads touch on Enlisted vs Officer responsibilities, the ‘Royal Canadian Legion’ non-profit and how it’s made up of many civilian posers wearing medals who sue Veteran companies over use of the remembrance poppy, more on the Fat People Industrial complex and how the military lifestyle can reek havoc on your health and what, if anything, can be done to correct course before it's too late. All of that and plenty more in this episode of spicy takes and head-butting bureaucracy. (Apologies for the overlapping noise at some points in the show, multiple people were recording with one microphone setup which limits the ability to clean up audio.)
