Quote by: Prax We have a neutral attitude for the most part, but when we are asked by an organization we are a part of, to take part.... we're not gonna lay low like the other NATO countries (US, Britian and Dutch excluded). |
You're asked by the Kyoto Accords (every bit as much of a treaty commitment) to do this and that, and Harper makes deep cuts to the very programmes meant to accomplish this,
So much for Canada's refusal to lie low, eh? But then Kyoto means stepping on US toes rather than kissing Washington's ass.

Nobody else is doing anything, so of course we're going to take the front. That, and the Canadian troops are the most experienced there at the moment, considdering they have been holding the South since they got there.
In this mission, our troops are basically playing as the cut off part of the force. The British go in after then, take them out, and anybody fleeing, will run right into the Canadians and get cut down.

You know, Prax, that sounds a lot like the US plan in Vietnam. A
lot like it.
And we know how that ended.
And we know how every blessed foreign intervention in Afghanistan -- ever -- has ended.
Canadians will eventually get tired of body bags and take those ludicrous support-the-troops stickers off their cars. Only a matter of time.
