The Government's Blind Eye

On Tuesday, November, 11th, my school took a trip to the Sleeman Center to attend a Remberance Day ceremony. At the ceremony Dr. Bill Winegard made a shocking statement that more Canadian soldiers have lost their lives as a result of their own doing than as a result of the combat they served. Winegard also brought up the topic that the government is not helping soldiers who come back from combat with post traumatic stress disorder. In my opinion, the fact that men and women who have served their government in war, and now that the government is not helping them enter back into society is unacceptable. The government should be recognizing and helping the soldiers that return with PTSD instead of sweeping them under the rug. It is not fair for the government to turn a blind eye on these men and women in their time of need and something needs to be done.
