To suggest that the powers that be at NDHQ are even contemplating something this asinine is pretty insulting, but unsurprising coming from a civilian. The only re-roling contemplated is for people who are still in the training pipeline and/or armoured or artillery troops. The latter have served in an infantry-like role before in peacekeeping operations and have a goodly portion of the training already. By the way, in 1944-45, when the Canadian Army fighting in North-West Europe was running low on infantry, it reroled non-infantry army troops into infantrymen, so this is hardy new.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
