Maybe it's something about the people encouraged to join and been hired? It used to be in Canada that the military was a proud part of citizenship and that generations of families took it as their responsibility to join an unpaid militia unit or become a regular force member. It was something that dedicated citizens just did. Many were paid little or nothing for their efforts. In fact officers or enlisted would actually have to buy their own uniforms or gear. That aspect of Canadian citizenship was totally destroyed by the first globalist anti-nationalist socialist PM, Trudeau the Elder. Justin's old man just totally devasted Canadian's sense of self reliance and responsibility. Like any good socialist he made citizens dependent on the government.
But for decades the military has been a social work project with priority given to hiring diversity over competence. DND gets what it deserves as the diverse workforce was in it just for the money and will quit when faced with adversity.
