C'mon, Prax, Canadians spell it with a "c".

21 days is pretty soft if you ask me.
Twenty-one days plus the nationwide publicity, not to mention the razzing he'll get for the rest of his days in the armed forces.

In 1969 there was, I believe, the first major mutiny among US troops in Vietnam. This was the first manifestation of sagging morale and would be followed by a landslide of incidents. On the much smaller scale of Canadians in Afghanistan, it'll probably go the same way.
