In defence of Canada’s military colleges
Potentially throwing the next generation of military leaders into a civilian university and hoping for the best is risky. At present, more than 60 per cent of the most senior officers in the CAF are RMC graduates, despite representing 30 per cent of all CAF entry level officers. Officer-cadets who graduate from RMC are well-prepared for their future roles leading soldiers, sailors, and aviators into harm’s way, write RMC graduates Bryan Brulotte and Telah Morrison.
