War is a dangerous and brutal affair, in which there are always "friendly fire" incidents.

Many thanks to our brave friends in Canada for the ultimate sacrifice. When push comes to shove, the "Echelon" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ) are the only true force for freedom in the world. The rest are suspect at best.

We may boo each other at a sporting event but we haven't shot at each other in anger since 1812 lol. The U.S. military is the most professional in the world, and it has to be in order to manage the huge scale size and scope of it's activities. Most Canadians understand that, however this generation is not used to military casualties and it hit them hard.Furthermore,Liberal Canadian media hacks and some politicians are using this as an excuse to score cheap points. I know our guys in Afghanistan are delighted to be serving alongside their U.S. buddies, doing the jobs they were trained for, they have made all Canadians proud.
