Project Hero in the news again.

Kevin Reed's Project Hero initiative is being railed by a group of professors at the University of Regina: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/criticism-of-scholarships-for-children-of-fallen-soldiers-draws-sharp-rebuke/article1512784/

It's the name that is setting off these "intellectuals". They are protesting a concept but in the process hurting real people who have already been disadvantaged. It's quite an unfortunate situation. I will reiterate that there are numerous good reasons to support this initiative and none of them are political. The beneficiaries are apolitical and do not deserve to be politicized. That was never the intention of either Gen. Hillier or Kevin Reed.
