I served in the Canadian Armed Forces myself, as did my father and grandfather - and many of my current co-workers are military vets, one of which is a Chief Master Warrant Officer and another a Lieutenant Colonel. They earned their stripes the hard way and are deserving of their titles and rank.
This guy did not do the work nor earn what he claimed to be. He served during peace time (in Canada)...never saw foreign soil...much less "fight for his country". He was a cook, injured his foot after serving only two years - was discharged...and somehow got a lifetime medical benefit pension (also galling).
