Canadian Press reports that the frustrated and heartbroken parents of a Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan are set to speak out today to contradict Defence Minister Gordon O'Connor's claim that the military is paying the full cost of soldiers' funerals.
The couple, who say they were short-changed on the cost of burying their son said that they'll reveal their identity at a news conference on Parliament Hill. Their son was killed last year in a roadside bombing and they say they have been reimbursed less than half the cost of his funeral.
The whole experience has been painful and excruciating, said one family member. ``We've been more than patient,'' he said. ``We don't want our names revealed until (Wednesday) because we don't want the phone ringing off the hook.''
Steve, take my advice, after lying about detainee abuse and now this, FIRE HIS ASS!
