Re: Are Canadian Troops Acting Like Terrorists in Afghanista
I think this is a stupid question. Soldiers are as good as they are trained to be. Then they are as good as the missions they are sent on.
That second part has to do with the politicians and that is a fundamental basis for a soldier’s opportunity to really do good for his/her country and the world.
Every soldier no matter what country on this planet has the potential to tarnish the uniform they are wearing. In circumstances where the enemy is very ill defined, innocents start getting killed all over the place, frustration sets in, and when it comes to occupations, it’s just kill or be killed. It’s not taking over the hill and then the town and then removing the occupier and then enemy leadership of the occupier, and then handing back the defeated country with penalties placed for the war.
This is about being the occupier and standing around being a duck and getting shot at like a duck. It is the politicians that put these soldiers in that type of situation! This question is BS!
It’s like this for every Vietnam, for every Iraq, for every Afghanistan! BullSh! And then soldiers have to come back with all that guilt. It’s because of the politicians.
