Fraser Tolmie Conservative
“More people are dropping out of the military. New recruits are joining without understanding what they are getting into. The government is not telling the full truth about what is happening with military recruitment.”
“Madam Speaker, I will be straightforward: There are more people washing out in the military. They are being thrown into recruitment centres and being told that they are going to become soldiers, sailors and infantry, and they do not even know. They just show up. I have talked to friends who are in the military, and they are asking, “What are these people doing here?” They do not even know what they are doing here. Do not tell me that recruitment is up when the full spectrum of what is going on in the military is not being given.”
