Hi fellows from Edmonton and other places in Canada. That was an ***understatement!!!*** that the trooper made there at the end of the Hyberdad dawn raid video about 'They won't forget who who the Canadians are now.', or something similar.
You all be careful as you can, out-fox the fox, or out-g the g(guerilla) as the past Cols. Hackworth and Emerson stated.
PS: My brother's son just returned from Iraq OK. I always remember my highschool and other friends that left early in life etc. Best of the best to you all.

Our Canadian soldiers are taking names and kicking ass in Afganistan. The Canadian taxpayer needs to send NDP leader Jack Layton to Afganistan to discuss peace with the Taliban. Good bad or otherwise we are there and we have stay. Layton needs to go over and talk to the soldiers and most if not to a man would tell him to go to hell. Canadians don't cut and run from anyone.
