The Canadian military has suspended five active members after a video emerged allegedly showing them with other individuals who gave Nazi salutes.
Lt.-Gen. Mike Wright, the head of the Canadian army, said in a statement issued Tuesday that he was “deeply disturbed and profoundly disappointed” by the contents of the video, which he said he was made aware of on Aug. 6.
Wright said soon after the video was shared with the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) by a member of the public, five serving members were identified, who have now been suspended from military duties while a disciplinary investigation is underway. The matter was then referred to military police.
Was it just a bout of drunken silliness?
