Default Canada's Final Deployment

The final tour is heading out over the next 6 weeks. This will be the end of a very long haul for the military.

Out of active combat and into training.

The job that Canada's military did has to be commended. From a force that was ill equipt and ill trained for the mission, to a mission force that gained universal respect for their results and their programs where they actively lived in the villages, they did a great job.

We had a number of casualties that we mourned for, but our training and dedication kept those casualties to a lower number then they could have been against a tough, ruthless foe.

Whether Afghanistan finally figures it out or slides back into government by what I consider to be a fairly evil regime will be for the history books.

But I'm proud of the job that they did there.
