Because it is easy to be a douchebag about shit like this when you aren't being directly effected.

Yeah.. because that is peoples number one concern right now…Jack Ass.
Here is a little perspective right now….bases have increased security. No one has a clue what is going on. Who know's what base could be targeted next…Petawawa, Trenton, Kingston, Esquimalt to name a few. And my wife is in her office at CFB Kingston as we speak as this is going on. Which is a potential target.
So take your conspiracy shit and blow it out your ass.
The soldier standing guard at the unknown solder monument has died. Also other people have been wounded.
Please be respectful.

Apologies if I am more harsh then usual.

I fully understand the seriousness of this event,but poking fun at conspiracy theorists can hardly be called douchy.
Shouldn't our military and government installations have heavy security anyways?

Sorry…wee bit testy and needed to vent.
Oh…don't get me started.
Reports I have heard is that it was a reservist.
Apologies if I am more harsh then usual.
My comment was not in regards to your post.
Yes he was a reservist from Hamilton Ontario.
To answer Tacklebox's question….
Some military facilities are secure…Camp Wainwright for example. To get on base one had to check in at the gate and provide ID. That was the only way in or out. At least back in 94. Can't recall if Chilliwack was the same CFB Kingston is a much more open base. That was a bit of a shocker in 2007.
I am done with being politically correct.
