Other than Americans, obviously, more Canadians have died in Afghanistan than soldiers from any other country. The Germans, French, etc., useless. The Canadians deserve our respect and appreciation. They are there because WE were attacked on 9/11. They honor our alliance and our friendship...that can’t be said of most of our other ‘allies.’

They are there because Article 5 of the NATO Charter was invoked for the first time in its history. More soldiers from the UK [152] have died in Afghanistan than Canada [116]. The US has lost 677.

Canada didn't not help us in Iraq.

Canada also took in our planes full of people on 9/11. There was no telling who was on the planes at the time. They treated our people like family.

the UK has lost more soldiers than Canada in Afghanistan and Canada refuses and has refused to help us in Iraq.

The UK is by far the best ally we have,They have been in helmund province for year and by far the worst place there. though I am thankful for at least Canada helping along with other countries in Afghanistan

The US has suffered 677 deaths in Afghanistan. Canada 116. Canada has 10% of the US population, so, proportionately Canada has suffered almost twice the casualty rate as the US.
