Out of respect, I'm certainly hoping members of the Canadian Armed Forces currently deployed in Afghanistan, which number four or five times that of what the Aussies have in Iraq, ARE NOT reading FreeRepublic right at this moment.

I'm referring to the COMMENTS posted here, NOT the news piece itself (which the average Canuck volunteer grunt over there would probably agree with).

Very disrespectful. And I'd imagine it would be somewhat demoralizing if they were reading it from over there as well. I'm actually embarrassed that nobody here seems willing to make the distinction between the ARTICLE and the volunteer Canadian soldier deployed.

But by all means. Carry on. It speaks volumes about some of the posters around here.

Hmmm we have troops both in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as Naval and Airforce support. Better get your facts straight....mate!
