I feel bad for the family/families that this will affect and our prayers go out to the families and friends of those who this affects. I have a concern that i wonder about, will this man be tried fairly or will this become one of those things that the forces become involved in to protect this man, i feel this is very important to be answered.

…….and DND provides no psych testing for their top ranking officials. What is wrong with this picture, Peter MacKay???
Geesh, even bottom feeder employees get tested for psychopathology via the Hare PCL-R in the private sector.
It’s great to know our national security is in the hands of the criminally insane!!

You can’t be serious. Are you an American because I can’t believe a Canadian would ever ask something that stupid.

I am struck by sadness and my empathy goes out to the families of the victims murdered, assulted and affected by this inhumanity. I have to stop and think though. We want to remember those lost and those who suffer from the loss, but it seems the spotlight is now on the accused because of who he is, not what he has done. A murderer is a murderer, an offender is an offender, he was ONCE a Col. in our countries forces. Now he should just be the person responsible for those crimes, we are feeding his ego even after he’s been caught.
