I have my doubts that the Kurds will be on the sidelines for the final battle with ISIS/ISIL.

Its really easy to mislead people in terms of military deployment because they don't really understand the terminology and methods of it.

Saying that we're out of harms way because we're training and not fighting creates this picture in peoples minds of Canadians in clean fatigues doing drill instruction, class room sessions and marching people off the the range.

We aren't running BMT cadres over there, we're trying to pass on tactical and special forces experience and trying to professionalize irregulars. Which means going on patrols and on intelligence gathering missions, which means setting up outposts and teaching them to defend them.
