'Halifax Rifles Reserve Unit' LOL! This is some guys's weekend beer fantasy. This would be a good Netflix comedy.
I think some commenters here are overstating the situation. This is not 'National Defense HQ' thinking 'hey let's try this out on the dumb plebes' - this is 'Bob' the 'Captain' in the Halifax Rifles but really a Restaurant Manager by day, who watches way too many History Channel war documentaries who decided to do his own training - or something along those lines. I don't know the truth but I would be shocked if this were approved from those above the reserve unit.
- ficklepickle 6y agoSo Bob has $1 million in petty cash for enacting his fantasies? I find that unlikely.
- jariel 6y ago??? You misread the article. Bob didn't spend $1M. The government spent $1M training on these kind of disinformation campaigns, as part of normal training budget. Bob releasing propaganda into the general Canadian public has nothing to do with the specific training he received. It's unlikely that NDHQ was authorizing spreading arbitrary disinformation among the general public.
