Reading the 2nd article it looks like Canada's military has about the same line of thought in dealing with whistle-blowers as the U.S.'s.

I have no doubt as a contractor or when I was in, if the upper echelons wanted to see what I was typing online, including DMs, they would get it.

Shit like this is why I have very little respect for keyboard spooks. They don't bleed, fight, or suffer the indignities of privation. You step out of line and hurt their feelings and they will happily threaten your family via electronic means.

Nevermind that you're the one risking your neck, while they play computer games and suck up resources at the PX.
