Doesn’t sound like they were monitoring individuals or seeking to identify individuals, but were instead observing and reporting the general sentiment.
The issue is they used their personal computers and networks.
An internal investigation months later showed the team at Canadian Joint Operations Command did in fact violate intelligence-gathering rules by using their personal computers and home networks to collect information about Canadians, CBC News reported last month.
Looks like they were right.
@sbv And now they might sue, and then be awarded money.
So the taxpayers pay for the military to do what they do, they do wrong, soldiers report it, get reprimanded, which is wrong, for which they might sue, and win money, which comes from the military, which comes from taxpayers… We just keep getting it, coming and going. If they’d never been ordered to do something wrong in the first place, at least we’d only be paying for it once. @Wudi
Do the soldiers get more than an apology and the reprimand removed from their record? Is it even removed from their official record in a way it truly is never seen again? Seems like a soldier causing up a stir like this goes on a permanent list of trouble makers.
