He was born on June 25, 1946 in Holland. His father was a Canadian serviceman and Romeo joined the Canadian military in 1964.

A few years ago, General Dallaire was found drunk curled in the fetal position under a park bench suffering from PTSD. (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) In 1994 he was the leader of the Canadian mission in Rwanda that was not given the authority to defend civilians. He oversaw the murder of 800,000 Tutsis (the worst massacre of the late 20th century); unable to do anything and watch in horror as men, women, and children were killed. Dallaire pleaded for 2000 more troops from the original 3000, and the permission to use aggressive force.
