Our national news (CTV) announced that the last soldier that perished in a gun battle in Afghanistan was the first soldier killed IN BATTLE
since the Korean war. Is this correct?? I am sure the JTF-2 boys would have somethin to say about that. What about the vets of Vietnam that didn't come home to their Canadian famalies? My dad was there but we were lucky. I feel as though the statistic is wrong! And when a number or fact is stated to represent a nation of soldiers from all conflicts and wars, it should be accurate.
Many Canadians gave their lives in battle, and in my opinion a mortar round, IED, or bullet from an AK doesn't distinguish ANYTHING.
WHOAAAA Canucks, just needed to vent, thoughts and prayers to the famalies missing their loved ones and remembering their heroes.
Our fate is our own,
