Obviously Somalia was a grave crisis within the military leadership. It led to major changes within the non-commissioned members' ranks. They called it leadership 2020, reformatting the military college and a lot of training. It was also related to a lot of hazing incidents that also occurred at that time. Multiple variables led to the disbandment of the regiment. I remember that quite well because I joined the military at exactly the same moment. I'm very proud to have served in the military for 23 years.
I was in the 5th Field Ambulance in Valcartier in the medical field. I wanted to talk about your awareness of the medical training for military medical personnel in their evaluation of military members as well as the medical personnel who work in Veterans Affairs.
Do they have adequate training in relation to the differentiation between PTSD, other disorders and other areas?
Obviously, you have more of an understanding in the United States.
Are there things we could be doing to better diagnose and better treat people who are veterans here in Canada, also who are currently serving in the Canadian Armed Forces?
