Times have changed.
And yes, by modern standards, our soldiers are being killed at an alarming rate in Afghanistan.

If 39 soldiers in more than a year is an alarming rate then we (Canadians) need to tighten our panties. Especially considering almost half of those came from friendly fire.
This is possibly the lowest casualty rate of any conflict that Canada has ever fought in. SO which "Modern Standard" are you talking about? Or is this something you thought up yourself? Because the examples I gave were alarming rate of loss of life.
