Here's my choice for your final read of the day.....pull your head out of your ass or go back to Europe!

Yes the government is standing behind the troops; you have to in order to push them into an unpopular conflict. They do nothing in order to really support them. Mybe you should speak to some veterans of the Afghan miision that have lost their jobs with the CF because of lack of support with PTSD.

You really do goose-step to the beat of a different drummer Sprockets!. I show my support for the troops (including a foster son who served 2 tours in Afghanistan) like every other former soldier - morally! And I ask the tough questions of my MP's that we elected to represent our viewpoints. To date, neither the Reform/Alliance or Liberals have given adequate answers and both parties are guilty of covering the facts. Like I said before, if you want to support the mission so friggin' badly, grow a spine and enlist; something that I don't believe you have the guts to do. If in fact you lived in the former Czechoslovakia as you claim and are still PO'd because you and your ilk hadn't the guts or wherewithall to stand up for yourselves, GET OVER IT . By the way, thank the UN for its failure in Rwanda, not any Canadian government; they commanded, not us! Speaking of which, read Romeo Dallaire's book if you want the real Rwanda story and how the gov't "supported" him.

G&M, National Post, CTV, Toronto Sun, take your pick - all supporters of the Reform/Allaince party. Suck that up!

Once again Sprockets, you equate supporting the troops with supporting the mission. As a former CF soldier I certainly support the troops; as a Canadian citizen, I am against the mission. If you really want to support the troops, ask the hard questions of the government that commands them. The troops have no input into where they are sent or the actions they are to take. If you feel so bloody adament about the mission, wht not enlist? Want to detain more Afghan peasants caught betwen the Taliban and ISAF forces? Head to the nearest CF recruiting office; they're dying for more IED fodder.

I appreciate your thanks, however, it was my father's generation that last saw combat in Europe (I was staioned there briefly in the 70's) to defend those who either couldn't, wouldn't or just plain never wanted to. In retrospect, I would have made a different choice. That is the reason that they target 20 yr. olds for service in the military...50 year olds are smarter than that.

You're probably correct, (I abhorr the word "right") but the Liberal party is not one that I want to see re-elected; they're no better than the Alliance/Reformers. I can't help but be PO'd every time I think that I stood on guard in Europe in the 70's to possibly be called on to protect morons like that! I wonder if he shines his own jack-boots?

Stick to the subject and get off of your right-wing rant.
