Default Canadians killed in Kandahar

Hello,

I have to second Darren. In the military, work, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep.... oh still more work, eat, sleep.

Remember it's Princess Patricia Canadian "Light Infantry". "Light Infantry" do not have the ammunition and equipment to target and fire at F-16. There are anti-tank weapons and stuff but no anti-aircraft artillery here. There are the occasional optical tracking rockets but I doubt they were kitted for that in this operation.

I guess best way to describe this for those who don't know is imagine you are flying at high speed in an aircraft and see someone doing paintball on the ground. Would you think they are a threat?
