Reveille


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXNuwZLkliQ
 
This Reveille, in the British Commonwealth armies, is the first call sounded in the morning and is used as a wake up call. During a Remembrance ceremony other appropriate occasions such as the funeral of a soldier, it is played to signify the resurrection of the spirit of the fallen. This Reveille is sometimes called 'The Long Reveille' as in many places the 'Rouse' or "Short Reveille"
is used instead.

Women, Peace and Security - Prevention

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVie_59Bdpw

 


Women have a significant role to play in NATO to help resolve and prevent conflicts.

War and conflict often affects women and children more than men.

Recognizing the important role women play in building peace, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1325 on 31 October 2000.

The Resolution called for an end to the historic inequality of male and female participation in resolving conflicts.

This short film examines how NATO is working to protect women and children in its areas of operations, and to increase the participation of women at every level to prevent future conflicts.

NORTHERN WARRIOR: Canadian Ranger Corporal Donald Anguyoak

 

Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on the death of Canadian Ranger Corporal Donald Anguyoak

February 19, 2013

Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement after learning of the death of Canadian Ranger Corporal Donald Anguyoak during a training exercise near Gjoa Haven, Nunavut.

"On behalf of all Canadians, Laureen and I offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Corporal Donald Anguyoak, who lost his life in a snowmobile accident during Exercise Polar Passage, part of the Canadian Ranger Ocean Watch program monitoring snow and ice conditions along the Northwest Passage.

"This is a stark reminder of the very real dangers that the Canadian Rangers and other members of the Canadian Armed Forces face regularly while promoting national security and exercising sovereignty in our harsh northern territories.

"Corporal Anguyoak's sacrifice in the name of defending his country will be honoured and remembered."

The Canadian Rangers, who are part of the Canadian Armed Forces Reserve, provide patrols and detachments for national security and public safety missions in sparsely settled northern, coastal and isolated areas of Canada.

Mental health issues for soldiers, police up 47% since 2008

Over 16,000 veterans, soldiers and RCMP officers on disability for mental health conditions

By Kathleen Harris, CBC News



Posted: May 1, 2013 5:01 PM ET

The number of soldiers and RCMP officers suffering from mental health injuries such as post-traumatic stress disorder has skyrocketed over the last six years, driven in part by the gruelling decade-long combat mission in Afghanistan.

Data provided to CBC News Network's Power & Politics from Veterans Affairs Canada shows the number of veterans, soldiers and federal police officers receiving disability benefits for mental health conditions has swelled to 16,206 at last count, from just over 11,050 in 2008. That marks an increase of 47 per cent.

Source: Veterans Affairs CanadaSource: Veterans Affairs Canada (CBC)

Second World War and Korean War vets with mental health problems is the only group that saw their caseload decline, and that is due to an aging population. There are now 1,932 "traditional" veterans of that era with PTSD and other mental disorders, down from 3,036 six years ago

Veterans Affairs did not have a figure immediately available on the costs of benefits and services to individuals with mental conditions, but the Defence Department spends about $50 million a year on mental health services.

Defence Minister Peter MacKay has described the care of ill and injured soldiers as his "number 1 priority."

A statement from MacKay’s office to CBC News said the Armed Forces has made "tremendous strides" in supporting personnel who suffer from deployment-related mental health conditions like PTSD.

"Post-traumatic stress disorder and depression are a priority focus for military health programs because they are the most common operational stress injuries," he said. "Canada is now recognized as a world leader in fighting stigmatization and raising awareness of mental health illnesses. In fact, we have the greatest ratio of mental health care workers to soldiers in NATO."

The data also shows the number of Mounties suffering with mental disorder has also spiked to 2,674 cases from 1,427 in the last six years.

 

 

 

COMMENT:

Serious stuff and it's foolish to take it lightly. These folks deal with lots of stressful things full on. We're also seeing a similar toll on those that work in the front lines of health care and social services.

Sometimes I wish we all could just slow down a bit. Rush and stress is taking a toll on everybody.

 

 

 

 

BEST COMMENT OF THE DAY:

 

I did 3 tours in Kandahar as an infanteer, outside the wire for all 3. The preparedness of our soldiers is top notch in terms of both combat training and physical and mental fitness. Everyone who joins the Army, particularly the combat arms knows full well the inherent risks of our chosen preofession. I personally was not affected mentally by anything that I did, saw or was part of but some that I know were. There is no mentality of sweeping these soldiers under the rug by the military or the government as some on here are claiming. It is in fact, the exact opposite. Mental health screening is done before and after the tour and all soldiers are afforded the opportunity to talk about their experiences with a mental health professional. Individual units will bend over backwards to assist it's members through this process. No one is left behind. Some can cope and come out of it, others have a more difficult time. It does not matter if you were a WW1,WW2, Korea or an Afghan vet-combat stress is combat stress. No amount of training prepares you for seeing close friends killed or grievously wounded.

That being said, there are numerous cases in the last decade of military personnel who are less than honest, who have falsely claimed PTSD in order to take advantage of the system. These cases are few and far between, but they do exist. I know this to be fact. As a result, the system gets on occasion clogged with investigations into an individuals employment during operations. These dishonest service personnel then cause the legitimate cases to be looked at with increased scrutiny to mete out fraud. The legit cases get sidetracked while the bogus ones are investigated. 99% of us are honourable soldiers, the 1% looking for a payday cast suspicion on those who need help.

 

 

COMMENT:

This isn't an indication that there is more mental illness, but an indication of more people willing to admit that they need help.

More power to them. This world needs to realize that mental illness is just that, an illness like any other illness.

If any of think that you are not feeling quite right, not sleeping, eating too much or not at all. See your doctor!

 

 

 

comment:

Nothing changes - we send soldiers and police into harms way and then, when they are damaged, they get swept under the carpet - no one wants to know. It has always been that way - century after century.

Harper had no qualms about pushing the Afghanistan campaign but his track record of supporting the damaged Vets is pitiful. He is a typical politician - though more of a hypocrite than the average.

Whether we agree with what these men were asked to do the unavoidable fact is they did it at the direction of our elected representatives and thus in our name. Now they are entitled to our support.

About Cadets Canada

 

The aim of the Cadet Program is to develop in youth the attributes of good citizenship and leadership, promote physical fitness and stimulate the interest of youth in the sea, land and air activities of the Canadian Forces.

Le Programme des cadets vise à développer chez les jeunes les qualités de civisme et de leadership, à promouvoir la forme physique et à stimuler l'intérêt de la jeunesse pour les activités maritimes, terrestres et aériennes des Forces canadiennes.



COMMENT:

The Cadet programs- air force, army, navy and Rangers is the finest - teaches math, science, discipline, respect, loyalty, dignity, pride, environment, precision, comradarie... what could be better 4 Canadian boys and girls... oh yes and did I foget intelligence, leadership and the personality of becoming a learner all their lives- education rules with them.... how's that 4 a good day 4 Canada- God bless our Cadets and Rangers

 

 

By Peter MacKay

Cadets organizations across Canada play an important role in promoting good citizenship, leadership, community service and physical fitness among young Canadians. I believe in the merits of this program and the benefits it provides to Canadian communities are unparalled. In fact, the Cadet program is the best youth development program in Canada. It is regrettable that some oppostion members attempt to misinform canadians scare our fine young cadets, and their parents. As I informed the House of Commons, "I can assure the House that the cadet program will continue to enjoy the important use of gliders." There are to be no reductions in resources allocated to the Cadet glider program or any Cadet program. The Cadet program is here to stay.

KANKASH: Human Rights Watch Concerned About Afghan Police Women

Sunday, 28 April 2013 19:49 Written by TOLOnews.com

 

 

Concerned about the condition of Afghan policewomen at work, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has suggested that the policewomen should have access to separate living facilities at their work space, which the country's interior ministry said is being founded.

<object title="JoomlaWorks AllVideos Player" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/iPgE_IYp4zM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width: 400px; height: 300px;"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iPgE_IYp4zM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="bgcolor" value="#010101"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></object>

of these policewomen, who are currently facing misbehaviour from their colleagues while at sleep or changing.

Neither confirming nor rejecting what HRW has said, Afghan interior ministry stated that it is putting the highest amount of effort to provide necessary facilities to Afghan policewomen.

Despite, criticism against employment of women police in Afghanistan, it is said that there has been no effective programmes by the government to encourage women of the country to join security forces.

Host Omid Farooq will look at different aspects of the issue with this episode's guests:

Sediq Sediqi, spokesman to Ministry of Interior Affairs

Nazifa Zaki, member of homeland security commission of parliament

Ahmad Shuja, researcher at human rights watch

COMMENT:

No, you're not a war machine, but it still doesn't keep Canada from acting when the need arises.

Canada never backs down from a fight. You still dive right into the fray when you're needed. Hell, Canada wasn't even attacked in WW2, and you still jumped right in, while my country was doing its? "Isolationist" thing.

You may not be a military powerhouse, but America is proud to have you with us.

Much respect, from America.
