Army commander promises discipline against media leaks

The commander of the Canadian army has threatened to go after soldiers who provide information to the media without permission and "pursue disciplinary action against them," according to a memo sent widely across the land force.

Lt.-Gen. Marquis Hainse said army information and documents are being "leaked" to media agencies, in violation of military rules.

He then went on to apparently attempt to shame the leakers, referring to the passage of information about what's happening inside the army as "a serious lapse in the ethical judgment and behaviour of some of our members."

Hainse said the leaks negatively impact the credibility of the land force he commands.

Well good to hear that there are no scum bags in there.
Also good to know that the air force and navy aren't involved.
