The price of glory: ‘I changed at that moment. I regret it’
“I got too emotional. I won’t say it’s revenge, but you think you have to keep going. In one operation in a wide-open area, far from a village and too far to use small arms, I dropped eight 500-pound bombs on 10 Taliban. That’s ridiculous. But I couldn’t stop myself. At the back of my head it was ‘What are you doing? This is enough.’ But I kept tracking them down.
“I changed at that moment. I regret it. Was I within the rules of engagement? Absolutely. But was it the morally right think to do? I don’t think so. I became for that 15-20 minutes an insurgent without any morality.”

Legion protests programs limited to Afghan vets
“Those benefits should be standardized for everybody, irrespective of theatre of operations, and the Royal Canadian Legion firmly believes that.”

West Point cadet dies during training
“He was just in incredible shape,” his father said. “He lifted weights all the time. He ran. He just trained for this like a fiend, running with backpacks on for months before going in there.”
