True Heroes. I can't get enough:

June 19, 2004 : When soldiers conducting a mounted patrol halt to look around, children gather around the vehicles and try to communicate with the soldiers, or hover close by out of simple curiosity. These exchanges seem to be great fun for the children trying to make themselves understood in their own language. Photo : Cplc Yves Proteau

June 19, 2004 : During patrols in and around Kabul, it is very important to keep your guard up. Private Patrick Gagnon and Pte Jean-Yves Matte demonstrate that principle in the rear of their vehicle. Photo by MCpl Yves Proteau

you should create a thread for this and show freepers that we are helping out despite our Liberal anti-military stance.

Can't get enough is right.

When a country of 42 Million has a military of 10,000, it isn't even window dressing. You have fewer soldiersthan there are cops in New York City.

I have no idea how you guys can wake up every morning without complete and total embarrasment on how you have completely abdicated all responsibility for yourselves to the US. I am surprised you don't ask us to help you all dress and get to school/work every day.
