Many seem to think the military "report" was intentionally commissioned to be released. Nope. This was the #CAF doing what it often does (and many are grateful in this case). Documenting conditions and challenges. It was a BIG surprise to military folks Premier Ford released it.
It was also a big surprise to many to hear Prime Minister Trudeau address it. As one source said a generation of officers who grew up in Afghanistan know the importance of documenting and sending it up the chain. They will not face allegations of looking the other way.
This was the troops doing their job and reporting what they saw. It was command making sure they checked in with the troops. It was documenting the conditions and challenges to the mission and then it was sent up to General Rouleau at CJOC and the CDS, then to politicos
