MGen Lewis McKenzie

[Jon Skagfeld]

I've just had the pleasure of attending a discussion session with the marginally noted personality at Centurion Mess in Meaford Ontario.

Presented by the Billy Bishop Heritage Museum staff, Lewis discussed his views on the past (his 9 UN deployments), the present ( our poor state of readiness), and the future, where he alluded favourably to our new CDS, Rick Hillier, with reference to sustainability with a rapid reaction force (and top down command structure).

It was stated that, should any arm chair generals not find favour with this new military infrastructure, they would be fired! Right on!

This is the sort of "attitude" that we Canadian mil types need and should demand.
