I was stunned when you said that 27% of people who have been debriefed upon returning from Afghanistan have psychological injuries as a result of their service.
That leads me to ask you a question that is a great concern to me. I'd like to hear your comments on whether, in light of past and present experience, that would have been useful to you. I hear that the army spends millions of dollars—and I agree with that—to provide good training to young members who are sent to the United States and across Canada to be trained in combat and the mission in Afghanistan. However, only two and a half hours are devoted to preparing them psychologically for the atrocities that they may perhaps survive. Perhaps we could help them diagnose themselves in order to determine whether they have problems when things don't go well during the mission.
Should we do proactive training, in other words try to prepare our young soldiers as much as possible to face the possibility of psychological injuries that they might suffer in a theatre of operations? Would it have been helpful for you to have a kind of prevention course on the possibility of such injuries?
