      #breaking CTV News has learned Alek Minassian served a short stint in the Canadian military. The Canadian Armed Forces says in a statement that Minassian was in for 2 months in late 2017. He was released after 16 days of recruit training. He requested to be released

      What does his brief military enrolment have to do with this?! Seriously, I am doubting your professionalism as a journalist right now.

      It has to do with the terms he used in his alleged facebook post, the 00010 and C with all the numbers after it make sense now. Infantry and a Canadian Forces Identification Number. Without that information the first part of the post appeared to be gibberish.

      (2/2) my brother has given his life and career to the military. He was injured in Afghanistan by an IED. I find it insulting to make any references to a murderer's brief military enrolment of any kind.

      I think too if you look at some of past reporting you'll see there's a strong emphasis on supporting serving troops and veterans. There's context around all this.

      Most welcome! Also interesting from a sociological angle... Experts say mass killers with the incel profile or who were sexually frustrated, felt a lack of masculinity, didn't fit it on often try and fail to join the military or police because they have fantasies about power 1/2
