I don't think so, because the soldier is never alone. We work in a team. There are leaders at every level--master corporals, sergeants, who are all part of a team. So when you're talking about training the soldier to excite, that is to give the soldier a reason for putting on boots in the morning and going to work.
I'm actually very understanding of what that statement means to the young people. It's no different from being an entrepreneur in any industry. If you don't properly compensate people, give them pride in what they do, and give them a reason for coming to you, they're going to go to somebody else. And that's the reality we face.
We have a younger generation with a different value set from the generation on the other side of age 45 or 50. So we need to recognize that it's not about us; it's about the young men and women who are going to go out the door to represent Canada in various operations around the world. We need to motivate them. We need to keep their skill sets, which we have spent a great deal of money on, in the Canadian Forces. It allows us to have that kind of flexibility, that pride in what they do.
So that part of the excitement is not something that concerns me, sir.
