Eye In The Sky said:This is a dangerous slope to start down. Injured during duty time in performance of a military duty is the delineating line here.
Is there a difference between a SAR Tech who dies on a trg jump and a SOF door kicker who is jumping into a theatre to visit death on our enemies? Is there not a difference between those 2 CAF members and a civilian jump instructor?
The difference is the same as your example. One of them is military and injured performing a military duty and one is a civilian hurt but not during peroformance of a military duty. We can’t start saying Bloggins jumped off a truck in Iraq and is therefore afforded better care while Smith who was injured jumping off the same kind of truck in Shilo gets less.
:2c:
And, in the CAF, if you refuse to do any of those things, you can be shot at dawn. Literally.
