"Deficient in training and tactics!"
I'm going to have to call you on this one. Anyone who has worked with the Canadian Forces will tell you that, while they are small, they are one of the most well trained and professional armies in the world. Ask any US commander who has had our troops working with or for him and I guarantee you he will disagree with you.
"Well-trained and professional" does not equate to "savvy and well-prepared for unconventional conflict".
OK... to what do you attribute this disproportionate casualty rate? Equipment? A foolhardy attitude? Selective attacks by the muzzies? Relative cowardice on the part of U.S. troops? The will of Allah? (See tagline...)
I completely agree that it is unacceptable to lose such fine troops and friends. I'm looking for root causes and a way to end this tragic loss...
