Exactly. Canada will have personnel there until 2014 in a training role. Almost as dangerous as combat.
I consider Canada's involvement in this war to be one of this country's worst military mistakes ever. Our redeployment in 2006 to Kandahar province was a tactical error made by our politicians to appease the Americans for our refusal to go to Iraq. We were over reaching for sure. Only 2,800 or so Canadian soldiers were tasked with holding on to the sprawling Kandahar province, birthplace of the Taliban.
I blame the politicians. They didn't have a clue. The sooner everybody's out the better.
Then let the bombing begin.
