As a currently serving soldier in the CF with 8 years of service I'm grateful for that individuals sacrifice and their commitment to there country as well as all others who have went to the sandbox!!!! Those that have went are truly amazing people!!!!!
That said if ANY individual is suffering mental ramifications of they're tour and or personal experiences its on that individual to realize he may not yet be fit(Safe) to play in a sport where everyday people act as your opfor. Its up to him to recognize it and go about it as best he can, they can use their friends and family to help that person cope and deal with properly and be supportive!!. A whole community(which also supports those funds regularly) should not have to suffer the use of not using a training toy or DD's in general as a result of one individual at all fields!!!! I say this with complete respect but that incident is not the fault of the DD, there were likely other underlying issues that should have been addressed before the game was attended!
Cheers,
