Again, I was not aware of that. That is shameful. You're right; that is not what you fought for, and I'm sorry.
We obviously have a very long way to go, and that is one of the reasons we're doing this study. We want to find out what these issues are and what we can do to fix them. That can't make things better from the past, but I'm hoping that with this, we can improve things for the future.
Just to go on, because I want to get some testimony from both witnesses, Mr. Lackenbauer, can you speak to the relationship with indigenous people in the military comparatively to other jurisdictions around the world? As you may know, one of our previous studies was a comparative study.
Can you say how we rank, or how things go with how other countries treat their indigenous veterans?
