Silly Little Country

Michael Yon has some Canadian content

...and he raises some interesting questions.

The comments about our troops are relevant as many media here now seem focussed on poll results showing lowered commitment to the Canadian role in Afghanistan.

The Canadians are fighting more and more although few people seem to notice.

The most telling comment is this one, quoting Joe Galloway:

Gonna turn that badlands territory in the south over to NATO? What will they do when they start taking casualties out the yazoo? Cut and run? You bet. Or hunker down in their bases and pray the bad guys don’t come get ‘em. Which they will.”

Here's an opportunity to find out in more detail what our troops are doing (not to diminish some of the good work of previous Canadian mainstram media embeds).
