Yeah ... the schools will be torn down, the education extracted from their brains and the taste of a different way cut off with their tongues.


...ever the pessimist

What schools? We didn't build **** all. We didn't win any hearts or minds, and it's no safer today or democratic than 10 years ago.

Thats 15.7 lives per year to provide support. Civilian police forces can sometimes sacrifice as much or more.

When Petraeus took over from McNeill he totally changed the war in A-Stan into blast the **** out of everything war.

Look up his own words.

Mills too.

Well, Osama is dead. We went there in part to help the Americans find him. So thats something. Not sure if it was worth the price or not. Depends on if he was planning an attack on us, which seems unlikely.

Canadian casualties in World War I: 64,944. In World War II: 45,400.

More than 157. Was it worth it, JBeee?

Would you consider William Lyon McKenzie King an "Ass-kissing bible thumping bastard"?

Both world wars were won. But I'd argue anyone who died in the first world war died for nothing. Just a screwed up family feud between the rulers of those countries. We got dragged in on a technicality, like the British. A waste.

I am happy the troops are coming home. I am proud of their efforts in Afghanistan. I hope they get some time off before being sent up North to keep an eye on the Russians.

Most years BC looses more loggers than that and no one is even shooting at us. Of course the same socialists want to ban logging too only not because it is unsafe.
BTW not a single Canadian was forced to go to Astan. We have a volunteer army just so people like JBee have the right to complain about what our government does.

Lucky it's not more. . Glad it's ending now, stead of later.

Harper and his fukking minions should be bull whipped for allowing it in the first place. Ass-kissing bible thumping bastard.

Considering it was Liberals who sent the troops over there when Harper was in opposition...
