I need to know more about what happened on that day, but I'm not holding my breath regarding hearing what "Really" happened. That investigation took way to long, it reeks of "Coverup" and protect our image. Accidents happen, just tell the truth.
This isn't Somlia and it isn't the 90's any more this isnt a coverup, besides what would the possible reason be for a coverup. The Canadian armed forces are good for letting the people involved in an incident the information they need (not everything they want its cold hearted I know, but my wife knows too how the army is and is ready for it). Once the trial starts and goes on the information will come out. The Green machine is a good machine, however, iit is also a very slow moving one, especialy in the cases of an accident involving a injury or death. Just the examination of a weapon can take a month or so.

I would do the same, I completely agree with her! it wasn't his fault... yes, it was his weapon but I cant justify destroying his career out of it... he is already living with too much guilt. My friend from 2ppcli knows them both, if Walsh could decide I highly doubt he would want charges pressed. If I died in combat the same way there is no way I would want a fellow soldier to live with that
It IS his fault. Be in control of your weapon and know its state AT ALL TIMES! It the principal of an infanteer and one that should never be forgoten. Obviously you've seen a c7/ c8 tossed around before. The safety doesn't "accidently" slip off. Also, as I'm sure you know the weapon is isolated ASAP and sent to techs for examination. Obviously, if he's facing charges his weapon wasn't at fault. I'm by no way saying that it was intentional, however, it does need to end in charges and possibly the ending of a career. Its sad, its cold hearted, BUT it's also the army way.

Nothing more needs to be said except I'll wait for ALL the evidence before I comment further.
