No Comments on what do you think? canada in afghanistan.

I’m in the process of writing a post on my thoughts about the role of the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan. Like many Canadians, I am torn on this complex issue and have struggled to balance my thoughts on our Armed Forces, the reasons for Canada’s entry into this conflict, our current intentions, and our responsibilities now that our Armed Forces are there.

I would be very interested to learn: What are your thoughts about Canada’s role in Afghanistan?

Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld and guests on a recent taping of his show thought it would be funny to belittle and mock the Canadian military’s role in Afghanistan. Four more Canadian soldiers were killed in Afghanistan today, bringing the total to 116 Canadians who have died in the conflict.

What a sicko.
