A Canadian serviceman shouldn't have to die to get in the papers.

Truer words have not been spoken, eh

Mark Steyn simply never misses. He hits the bull's-eye every time. If talent like his could be distilled, bottled and sold, I'd never drink anything else.

Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,

This article reminds me of a particularly foolish guy I roomed with in college who believed that medals should not be given for 'killing.' He like so many other pantywaist liberals REALLY and TRULY believe that the very notion of honoring bravery in combat is morally blameworthy. To their minds, no one's country, no one's livelihood, no one's freedoms are worth killing for, much less dying for. I'm sure if they could have their way the Congressional Medal of Honor would be abolished and replaced with little replicas of the Nobel Peace Prize. Hell, they'd probably even want to give one to Arafat! :-)

You military/ex-military types ought to see this one. Apologies for the redundancy if you're already on the MSPL (Mark Steyn Ping List). If you're not, you should be; he's just a treasure. It's really too bad he's not an American. As far as I'm concerned, he's an honorary American of the first caliber.

I am grateful for the service of Sergeant Leger, Corporal Dyer, Private
Green and Private Smith. But I am also grateful for that of the five snipers,
and a government that was truly committed to this war wouldn't need a
protocol row to force them to acknowledge their existence. A Canadian
serviceman shouldn't have to die to get in the papers.

bump!

Whenever the Wall St. Journal calls our office and invites us to subscribe.....I sweetly ask if Al Hunt still works for the paper..........and then I go on my rant....ending with telling them to call me back when Hunt has been fired!!!

"A Canadian serviceman shouldn't have to die to get in the papers." It's excruciatingly sad that CA's grunts aren't given enough credit at home, but you know what? They're not ever given enough credit in the US either. I think there is evidence to suggest the good guys wouldn't have won WWII without 'em. They are the best of the best, and if Canada doesn't want to claim em, heck, send 'em our way (Texas) where we will only be too happy to show our gratitude for what they always do (with no press, & no support from home.)We love those guys, and are eternally grateful for how they are always willing to help save people who don't deserve to be saved (like France).
