Military refuses to clean up its act

Saskatchewan leader Chief Blaine Favel said he now has proof that the

Canadian military isn't servious about combating racism within its

ranks. Favel, grand chief of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian

Nations is angry that two militia officers have been reinstated after

the pair was suspended for leading a racist war game. The training

exercise involved a scenario where a group of Aboriginal people

blockading a road were being led by a glue-sniffing ex-convict named

Frankie Fencepost. While the military contends there was no deliberate

intent to racially slur Natives, Favel believes the armed forces is

refusing to get to the root of the problem.
