I don't want to open a debate about the armed forces (I was one in my youth).
Canada has 1/10 the population of the US.
So far US casualties in Afghanistan are 671.
If we were to go by population, we should only have 1/10 of the 671 or 67. There are 116 Canadians dead.
About twice as many.
I'm just saying that is not a "get out of jail free" position.
