Disarming the JTF II was not BGen O'Connor's intentions. The reliability of the grenades is. This has been taken out of context that the Canadian MSM focused on the wrong thing. BGen O'Connor wants the CF to purchase (and more expensive) grenades that would detonate when fired on target instead of leaving dangerous duds around.
