To me its a non issue. Have I lost respect for the SS of UVIC, to be frank I've rarely had a lot of respect for student politician's anyways and this group is no different. To ignore the good work that the Military has done and the efforts of the men and woman to spout out what I think are unproven theories about the Canadian Forces committing war crimes, and using Uranium depleted rounds is ridiculous (The only systems that use uranium depleted rounds in the Canadian forces are the rounds in the Phalanx anti missile systems are on the frigates. The sabot rounds for tanks use Tungsten to harden the rounds) it also shows that they should spend more time studying and less time spouting what they've found on the internet.

Frankly taking away the Forces spot at the job fair to me dosen't matter, the ones who really want to join the forces are going to go down to a recruitment or government center which means its more then likely that we're not going to see flakes making impulse decisions.

Besides looking at the Canadian Forces recruiting processes , they're fairly stringent and insistant on getting good people, and not taking just any nutcase who wants a gun.

At the end of the day, one of the things that military forces in Canada has fought for is the right for individuals to make thier own decisions, whether its here or abroad, so the UVIC SS decision is one that ultimately has to be respected (even though its misguided and stupid)
