The question:
"Should Canadian troops still be using the LAV III (light armoured vehicle)?"
The choices:
yes
no
The results as of 1606L 07Jan08:
1589 "yes"
1692 "no"
I imagine that the Taliban have all gone on the internet and voted "no", because I'm pretty sure that they don't want us to use it either.
This to me is a classic case of why opinion polls don't matter. Here we have a bunch of ill informed people being asked for an opinion. That would be like asking me what the weather will be like tomorrow: I could guess, I may get it right, but if I did, it would be a sheer fluke as I have zero training in meteorology.
Five killed in theatre by roll-overs since late 2005 and now alarm bells are ringing. Here's a hint, people: roll-overs happen. They don't happen on purpose, that's why they are called "accidents". Yes, they are tragic, but hey, I knew a guy who was killed in an M113 roll-over in Bosnia in 1993.
