The military officer in charge of providing help for injured soldiers says they are being asked for their own good to sign a form governing what they can and can’t say in public. In September, the Ottawa Citizen reported that the Canadian Forces were requiring physically and mentally wounded soldiers to sign a form agreeing they won’t criticize senior officers on social media outlets or discourage others in uniform with their comments on sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The form, introduced in March 2013, noted that military personnel in JPSU would be held responsible for not only the content they post on social media outlets but also the content of sites of their friends which they have “tagged.” Retired air force officer Sean Bruyea, a high-profile critic of how the military and government treats wounded veterans, described the form as “right out of something you would see during the Soviet era.”
