Why? Are most of your lads being shot when driving up to a village
with a casserole and offering to feed the vill?

No, they are doing the most dangerouas work, in the most dangerous
area (Handahar) of the country - where France, Germany, and the other
Nato countries won't send their people. Like in the second world war,
where the canadians did the dirty work and the yanks got the credit.

Hummm..you could be right..that Pacific campaign was 4 yrs of nasty
fighting by Canada followed by its dropping the 2 Atom Bombs on Japan.

All those Canadians such brave lads!

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
