Roy Schneider, Regina- Thank you your letter. I feel the same degree of disgust.  I do not have any family in the military but I love my country and I am proud of the men and women in our military. I question the current leadership and the rationale that it would be more expensive to fight. Umm principls, integriy? Please - Put my tax dollars to the fight.  As you said so well- this crass, shameful payout does not reflect the values of the majority of Canadian citizens. I have a long memory – and I will remember this on Election Day.
