## Resource

Dave Morrow, a Canadian Afghan War veteran, delivers a raw, unfiltered critique of Ottawa's Afghan War Memorial groundbreaking ceremony — calling out the exclusion of combat veterans, the politically driven design changes, and Canada's ongoing disrespect for those who served in the country's longest war. He breaks down why the monument's design falls short, how Trudeau interfered with the original jury-selected plan, and what it means for a nation that seems determined to forget Afghanistan ever happened and let the Canadian military rot.
