Absolutely.
Canada should have a military expeditionary force capable of responding to crisis' all over the world in a timely fashion.
Canada's traditional role as peacekeeper shouldn't be abandoned, and with that comes the need for adequately armed, trained, and prepared forces who will be able to 'keep' the peace.
A prime example of this utilizing aircraft that our prime minister would not be willing to use. That's a travesty that we send troops to their deaths because we can't get our acts together as a nation to give them equipment that
won't kill them.
