Potential problems are already surfacing..her Godfather has gone to the media saying she died for "absolutley nothing".He & the family want Ottawa to withdraw the C.A.F. right away.Wants them back to peacekeeping.
Noting that the latest Reg't to be sent is mostly from the Val Cartier area-he feels Quebec is getting the short shaft.They cite that MOST Quebecers dont support Ottawa's presence in the 'Ghan.(Then again-I dont think most Quebecers support ANYTHING federally related)

Sooner we ALL pull out the better. Let the buggers have it and sort their own mess out. We tried years ago and failed the Russians tried and failed nothing changes. Soldiers dying for some Parliamentary crap is wrong.  Anybody ever read All Quiet on The Western Front?? A brilliant comment made by a German squaddie " Give them all the same grub and all the same pay and the war would be over and done in a day!" Send the politicians in let them get shot shelled and sh*t on! They'd soon scream blue murder and run home crying.

The expense of Canada's service in the "Ghan" continues to climb..We lost another last friday(5 more injured),another succumbed to his wounds-suffered earlier-on Sunday(He was already in a Quebec hospital),now we've lost 2 more today(chopper crash).
If we pull out-we lose..if we stay,we lose.What a quagmire!

Hi,

As per my views gnatieff wants us to leave Afghanistan in 2011. It was the original date set for us to leave but it seems we might be asked to stay longer.

Regards

It was the LIBERAL gov't that sent/committed our undersized/understaffed/under-equipped/overworked military to the Ghan in the first place.
The Conservatives lived up to the commitment & poured vast amounts of $$ into the military for badly needed equipment.Now the Liberals try to make political hay out of the military's mission @ conservative expense.Meanwhile-the military ends up takin it on the chin-again!

Us Brits are taking a pasting too and to add to the bad feeling they are looking at pay cuts! I suppose that's to cover paying out for better equipment for the lads getting mauled ever bloody day!

Ignatieff is a DOUCHE, I doubt you will see a full pull out.  Chances are very high that you will see less troops on the ground and more assets in the Air.  This accomplishes 2 things; firstly appeases the general public with our deadline set by the LIEberal gov't, along with making it appear like we are no longer there. Secondly it maintains a NATO commitment to the theatre of operations, and provides further support to those nations that stay to see this mission further.
 
Besides, as a nation Canadians only see the ARMY involve in most conflicts, and that Canada's military is a peace keeping force.  Neither of which is accurate, I mean we didn't leave Balkans till earlier this year.

Anyone tell me what is going on in Uzbekistan?

 

My son is on deployment in “the Middle East” and I got an email from him which I traced to Uzbekistan.  I sent him back an email asking what the hell he was doing there and got no reply!

 

Subsequent emails talk about family etc but no answer to my question.

Evil is when good men do nothing about it.
