Then you just get more soldiers dying in a failed cause
Then by your own logic, you would be the one slapping them in the face for supporting a war that was gonna see them lose thier lives for nothing, right?

I support what our soldiers want, if they want to be there, i support that. Thats hardily a slap in the face whether the mission fails or not.
The fact is, these soldiers have a commitment, something they hold very highly. To you, pulling out against our NATO commitment might not seem like much, but to a soldier who is tought loyalty and honour day in and day out, it's much more.
Afghanistan will never be deemed a "success" in 2009 but the fact of the matter is, this is going to be a long and hard process and for Canadian soldiers to be a part of that process is for the better. From now until then, a lot can be accomplished, when it comes to gaining public support, rebuilding and truly trying to get Afghanistan on her feet so it can combat the Taliban/Al Quada more effectivly it's self.
Canada is just one piece of a big puzzle, but with cooperation and
patients Afghanistan can be a success.
