Farm.. Your right and I apologize to the forum but SofaKing reply really p..... me off. But bonus compensation, regardless of whether or not it was earned or of the end result, is a sore point with me. AS I said I am all for paying danger pay when soldiers are in dangerous situations and I support higher wages for our servicemen. But I do not support bonus pay when it is not earned.

The danger doesnt go away . Check out soldier suicides ? Do you think they can just shut that off ????

Are you implying that by continuing to pay the bonus to an injured soldier that this will lessen suicides? How about redirecting bonus money that is no longer being used to actual mental health treatment for injured soldiers or those suffering from PTSD regardless if they have been physically injured.? Or how about using it to reopen VA offices that the previous Conservative government closed? How many of you you posted on this forum running down Harper and Fantino when they were closing VA offices? If this is all about veterans, how many of the posters on here participated in the veterans black ribbon campaign? CaseIH did you wear a black ribbon? Do you even know what the campaign was about? And why has there been no thread praising Trudeau for reopening some VA offices that Harper closed. Admit it, this thread is not really about veterans or amount soldiers should be paid, it is simply politicizing a suffering of injured soldiers.

Dml your entitled to your opinion and it's good to hear everyone's thoughts on an issue like this. I hope anyone with these opinions on war veterans will head on down to their local legion and voice them out loud. It's easy to mouth off on an ag forum.
