On another message board I came across these links to a set of videos shwing Canadian soldiers fighthing in Afghanistan. Looks like the guys are kicking butt.

Amazing that there is still combat going on in Afghanistan. Another "Mission Accomplished" I guess.

Its sad that that kind of footage isnt shown on our Canadian news programs, we have to get it from the internet. Most Cdn reporters just stand in front of a truck in Khandahar and say something about "Cdn troops were involved in heavy fighting". Was the same when our forces were in the former Yugoslavia, they went out of their way to ignore what they did there in regards to combat missions. Maybe they thought if they didnt report it "all the bad war would go away".

I think they didnt want to show our soldiers doing anything that didnt involve a UN "feed the children" program.

Anyways, its nice to see some recognition that we have been involved in the Afghanistan mission. I hope they all come home safe, with the the other nations troops too.

Nicely done... brought tears and a prayer that all troops will someday come home safe.

No one prays for Peace more than a man/woman in the Military...yet when we are called to serve there is no hesitation.

To all that have served and are still... <<>>

The last of the Canadian videos reminded me of the some of the combat footage shot in the south pacific with the Marines in WW2. Probably not quite the intensity.
That cameraman is a brave guy. Too much of that kind of footage will get a man killed eventually.

Absolutely!

All wars should fit into a one-hour prime time slot. That's about 42 minutes of war and 18 minutes of commercials. The last two minutes of the show should be complete and total victory.

The nerve of people making war run longer than a prime time slot.

FUNKED1 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 16, 2006, 09:58:30 PM »

42 minutes is a difficult goal, but with $300B and all of the forces that were prematurely pulled out to go chasing snipes in the Persian Gulf, who knows what the CIA and military could have done there?

Funked might well have a point.
