Hillier to look at policy of cutting soldiers' danger pay

QUOTEThe head of Canada's military said Friday he's going to do something about the current practice of taking away the danger pay of wounded soldiers.

Gen. Rick Hillier said he heard about the problem last week, and has some "big-brained people" working on the issue.

The effects of the policy are being felt keenly now that Canada has soldiers getting wounded on a regular basis in Afghanistan.

"We're going to look after them," Hillier told reporters during a press conference at Canadian Forces College in Toronto.

Hillier said the military won't change the rules as they stand on danger pay, but said there will be no financial penalty suffered by Canadian soldiers pulled out after being wounded.

Why are there so many damn stipulations on this shit?

These guys went overseas to fight for our country. They were wounded for our country... but our loyalty to them stops as soon as they leave the theatre? Bullshit.

Finshed here. Greetings, Death
