If you wish to read this at your school, or your remembrance day ceremony, please go ahead. If you could pop me a note to let me know, that would be appreciated. Why we remember To remember not only the fallen, but the sacrifices made by the living who have experienced horrors which are simply beyond the comprehension of the unindoctrinated. To acknowledge the sacrifice made by the families of the fallen, and of all those who have served and who are still serving. Because nobody ever truly comes home from War. Only a version of yourself returns. A haunted version, whose very soul has been irreversibly stained by the realization that Satan is in fact real, and he does indeed cajole decent people into doing awful things. It's the understanding of how unspeakably horrible one person can be to another. War forever taints' you. Witnessing a flagrant disregard for the sanctity of life is not something you can unsee. It is this stain which affects every aspect of your civilian life, often for the rest of your life. We remember our soldiers because they bear a terrible burden, so that others will never have to carry the painful weight of freedom. To acknowledge the privilege we enjoy, of living in a peaceful country where our children can safely walk to school without the fear of their school being bombed. We remember, because we acknowledge that we can't ever fully appreciate the sacrifices, so we remember in lieu of understanding. We remember, because it's the best we can do, and the least we should do to honor our Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen both past and present. We remember, because they likely know the unforgettable smell of burning human flesh, and the sound of the screams of the burning. We remember them, because they can not forget. We remember, because the survivors often struggle from debilitating depression, relentless nightmares, and uncontrollable anger. We remember because Veterans are at a much higher risk of suicide. We remember them, because many of them can never find peace. We remember them, because we don't carry the burden of becoming them. On November the 11th, we will remove our hats, stand for our two minutes of silence, and we will remember them. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tango-romeo/support

The crew at 630 CHED has been good to me. This is the 3rd appearance I've had on CHED.

The Commander of the entire Canadian Military joined me for a crucial discussion about Mental Health, and culture in the CAF. General Wayne Eyre has committed to clean up the culture in the CAF. We had a heartfelt conversation about how things were, how they are, and how they need to be. Please share your thoughts on our conversation, and PLEASE help to save lives by sharing this episode. Wayne Eyre - Wikipedia Eyre was commissioned into the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry in 1988.[3] In 1993 Eyre, who was a captain at the time, was deployed to Croatia as part of the United Nations Protection Force. He took part in Operation Medak Pocket in which he commanded a reconnaissance platoon, which witnessed the aftermath of ethnic cleansing in the village of Lički Čitluk.[9] He became commanding officer of the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry in 2004.[10] He went on to become commander of 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group in 2009 and,[3] after that, Deputy Commanding General of Operations for the United States Army's XVIII Airborne Corps in 2012, in which role he was deployed to Afghanistan.[10] He was appointed General Officer Commanding 3rd Canadian Division and Joint Task Force West in 2014.[10] In May 2018,[11] Eyre became the first non-American to serve as deputy commander of the United Nations Command in South Korea.[11][3][12][13] He was succeeded by Vice Admiral Stuart Mayer of the Royal Australian Navy in June 2019, and returned to Canada as Commander Military Personnel Command.[14] On July 12, 2019, it was announced Eyre would be appointed the commander of the Canadian Army, effective from August 20.[14][15] Eyre was appointed acting chief of the Defence Staff on February 24, 2021, following the stepping aside of Admiral Art McDonald pending an investigation by the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service.[16][17][18] He was promoted to full general on August 13, 2021[19] and appointed as the official Chief of Defence Staff on November 25, 2021.[20] Eyre was made a Commander of the United States' Legion of Merit on April 24, 2021.[4] He had previously been appointed as an officer of the American order while a brigadier-general in 2015 and,[21] in 2020, was awarded an Oak Leaf Cluster (second award) to the Legion of Merit.[22] On March 15, 2022, Eyre, along with 313 other Canadians, was banned from entering Russia, in protest of the Government of Canada's opposition to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[23] --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tango-romeo/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tango-romeo/support

Don't quit. Keep trying. You have NOT "tried it all". I have not found every healing modality with promise, so I doubt you have tried more than I have found so far.

This is one of the most important conversations I've ever had. The link between Childhood Trauma, and the Veteran / First Responder world is significant on two main fronts. Stigma Kills. Open, honest, and clear language must be used to crush stigma. Child Rape is not rare. It is rampant, insidious, and not understood. By sharing this episode, you very well might be saving a child from a predator. By listening to, and learning from this episode, you'll be empowered to help prevent child rape. Predators are running free under the cover of darkness. Only by shining a light can they be stopped.

It doesn't have to be a fight. If voices are raised, if emotions are engaged, ...you're not having a productive conversation....you're just in a fight. Demanding that you are "right" doesn't add to your argument, it diminishes it. The only "right" to insist on is the truth. If you can't pursue the truth with someone who holds deeply different views than yourself, then you're just defending your beliefs...not facts. Would you rather know the actual truth...or would you just prefer to feel superior in your ability to argue? I choose the former, and I hope you do too.

It's PTSI (itsptsi.com) Biological PTSD Treatment | SGB injection for PTSD | Stella (stellacenter.com) PTSD is an injury that can be treated. In psychology, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is defined as a response to experiencing traumatic or stressful events that create feelings of horror or helplessness. A neuroscience-informed view suggests that what has been called PTSD is in fact a biological injury that can be seen through brain scans. Though PTSD is a common term mental healthcare professionals use, Stella and others have suggested a new term – Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PSTI) – instead of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. By talking about Post-Traumatic Stress as an injury, we can reduce stigmas around healing. At Stella, we have a range of proven treatments for the symptoms and conditions associated with trauma exposure. While many mental healthcare resources highlight the 17 most common PTSD symptoms, there are actually more.

Tommy Served with 3 PPCLI and 1 PPCLI. I served with him in both units. In April 1994, Tommy was driving an Iltis (Jeep) when he hit an anti-tank mine. The mine strike severed both of his legs below the knee, and blinded his left eye. For 29 years, Tommy has struggled with Veterans Affairs, and Blue cross to receive the services he needs to live his life. To this day, Tommy has to prove that his legs have not grown back, and his eye is still blind. We must do better.

Is it even possible to go too far? I love the idea of inclusivity. I grew up being bullied, isolated, and left out. I don't want ANYONE to feel that way. And...should a group bend to the will of an individual because of a preference? How about if an individual has a need? In the case of someone being deaf, blind, or wheelchair bound, I think it's clear that the group should bend to the individual. If a person has a mere "preference", which is contrary to the group, then I believe the polite thing to do is concede to the majority. Am I wrong? Am I right? Are there other options, or factors to consider? Please join the conversation.

Ep. #295. I am a Freemason. Here is my confession. I've been out of the lodge since 2012, and I do toy with the idea of joining again. Since 2006, I've heard every accusation against the Masons that I can imagine. The most common is that we run the world and/or worship the devil. What I find is that once peoples minds have been made up, that's it. No discussion can be had. To diminish the fact that I'm an ACTUAL Mason, it's always the same comment: "you just didn't get high enough to learn the truth". This has ALWAYS been said to me as a statement, never once has anyone ever asked, "did you make it to the highest levels?" People prefer to assume, instead of ask. I was a Master Mason, sat as a Senior Warden, and was elected to be Master of the lodge, Sherwood #183. Masonry does not have a vertical hierarchy. Instead, we have a system of lateral progression, which is baffling to most folks. We don't hold office above each other. Instead, we walk WITH each other as guides on our journey. Our system is a threat to the notion of hierarchal establishments. It's little wonder that we are attacked so often, and so viciously. Are all Freemasons good people? Nope. Definitely not. Just like EVERY group of people, we have some bad apples, and a whole lot of good eggs. Veterans, Police, Nurses, Trades people, Politicians, ....all are groups of individuals. Some are bad, some are good. The lessons of freemasonry however are wonderful. Faith, Hope, Charity. Good stuff. Brotherly love, and harmony. Very good stuff. I hope you enjoyed this episode.

What is abuse? Abusers rarely, if ever realize they are abusive.  If you call them out on their behavior, they will often react with something to the tune of, “You're too sensitive, suck it up, quit your whining”.   If you point out their lack of empathy, they will simply deny your claim and trivialize your concerns. Or, they may justify their lack of empathy by stating that you are not “deserving” of empathy.  Abusers are often heard to be judging others, especially those who disagree with them.  Any opposition to their view-point  is met with insults of some sort. They'll say things like: Read a book once in a while (to suggest you are uninformed, or uneducated) Oh, did you read that on the internet? (assuming your source of information is inferior to theirs…even though they use the same methods that you do.) And where did you get YOUR masters degree in this topic? (attacking your credibility, and ignoring the fact that if you can read, or if you can listen to actual experts, then you can be informed.  Also…where is THEIR masters degree in the same topic they say you're not able to have an opinion on?) Or, they will react with a trivializing label to lump you into a category they deem to be inferior to themselves. Such as; conspiracy theorist, lib-tard, far right, far left, tin foil hat, extremist, etc… Abusers tell you through their actions or words that YOUR opinion does not matter.  Your thoughts are not worth consideration, and your voice is not worth listening to.  If your thoughts and voice have no value to an abuser, then neither does your very existence. In every genocide, groups of people have been trivialized as not worth listening to, not worth empathy, not worth the air they breath.  It may seem like a leap, to compare a garden variety abuser with a genocidal maniac…but it's the same.  The mentality is the same, the only difference is the degree of abuse.  The degree of abuse is proportionate to the power held by the abuser.  The greater the power, the greater the abuse.  A dictator who is also an abuser will think nothing of killing those who oppose him, not just because he sees opponents as a threat..but because he sees them as inferior.  An abuser feels that those who are inferior, do not have the right to protest, be heard, or to speak out.  An abuser is perfectly comfortable marginalizing those they feel are inferior by denying their basic rights of speech, assembly, protest, and movement. All these rights they never give up themselves, but an abuser is comfortable denying others these basic rights.  In relationships, we see abusers removing the voice of the abused.  Their victims can't ever do anything “right”.  They will constantly correct, criticize, or complain about their victims.  They consistently trivialize, marginalize, and minimize their victims point of view.  When abusers become national leaders, their followers tend to take on the abusive traits of the leader.  They parrot the abusive labels, and demonize anyone who opposes the abuser.  This is how dictatorships flourish.  We use diagnostic labels such as narcissist, sociopath, etc, but the common denominator is a pattern of abuse.  The bottom line is refusing to attempt to understand the lived experience and perspective of others. A lack of, or absence of empathy is the hallmark of an abuser. This lack of empathy manifests as insults and demonization.  One of the obstacles to having empathy, is the lack of understanding of what empathy actually is.  Often people conflate empathy with agreement, but this is not the case.  You can empathize with someone whom you disagree with.  It takes maturity and control of your ego, but it can be done.  A truly mature and confident person finds it easy to be curious about  opinions of others which are contrary to their own.  A person who lacks confidence finds it unimaginable to be curious about the opinions of those who disagree with them.  Curiosity ...... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tango-romeo/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tango-romeo/support

Ep. #293. Eddie Kamps, Injured Veteran being ignored by DND and VAC Eddie has written over 37 letters to the Minister of National Defence, without any reply.

Please help by sharing this episode with your Member of Parliament, and ask your MP to help Eddie be acknowledged by the Minister of National Defence. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tango-romeo/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tango-romeo/support
