TheStar.com - Slain soldier felt `misled':
A Canadian soldier killed yesterday in Afghanistan was so unhappy with his mission, he had asked an army priest if talk of suicide would get him discharged, says his girlfriend's father.
Cpl. Anthony Boneca, 21, didn't feel suicidal 'but he went to the priest to see if he could get out that way,' said Larry DeCorte. 'He hated it over there. He was misled as to what was going to be there when he got there, and what he would be doing. He was very mad about it.'
As a reservist, Boneca did not expect to be called upon for heavy duty, said DeCorte, adding Boneca had complained of a long-range patrol that was supposed to last seven days, but stretched into three weeks. The week's worth of food he left with had to be stretched as well.
