Ottawa military row paints Armed Forces as laughing stock
The piece attacks Canada's postwar military leadership and unification, blaming Lester Pearson and Paul Hellyer for morale decay. It cites Donald MacDonald and civilianization under Trudeau, critiques Mulroney era inaction, notes 86 generals for 68,000 personnel, and praises Tarnished Brass by Scott Taylor and Brian Nolan. A four professor panel is appointed to propose fixes.
