I've written several posts about the tragic story of Cpl. Stuart Langridge, who killed himself seven years ago after serving his country honourably in Bosnia and Afghanistan.
I told you how the military didn't accept that he was suffering from PTSD, they didn't treat his illness, they treated him like a cheater, until he finally hanged himself.
I also told you how they kept his suicide note from his parents for over a year, even though it was addressed to them.
And how his parents finally found out earlier this year that a secret military report had blamed him for what happened.
But this has to be the final betrayal.
The other night I wrote about the tragic story of Cpl. Stuart Langridge, who killed himself seven years ago after serving his country honourably in Bosnia and Afghanistan.
And I described how the military didn't accept that he was suffering from PTSD, treated him like a criminal, and didn't let his family read the suicide note he addressed to them until more than a year after he died.
Well today his family finally got to read a heavily redacted secret military report, and it couldn't be more shocking.
They brought Sgt. Andrew Doiron back to Canada today, and I was glad to see that thousands of Canadians turned out to welcome him home down the Highway of Heroes.
Once I thought that reception was too militaristic, and too American.
But now I think it's right that we should value every life, and honour those who lose their lives in the service of Canada.
Too bad, Cpl. Stuart Langridge and his family weren't so lucky.
