The Good and the Bad

Transcript

The best aspects of the mission, I enjoyed immensely the importance of the group I was with. The mission, the type of mission we were on. We were able to be very mobile with the help of helicopters all over the place. So we saw everywhere on the Island. We saw different ways of life. As stressful that it was to take in, it was just an adventure. Every Canadian that's joined the forces just goes for the adventure. I mean just a, yeah sure, willing to help, but the adventure of seeing different areas of the world. The worst aspects is what we witnessed and smelled and even worse than that is they're still in the same state. Nothing's changed.
