I'm actually going to stay out of this thread now because I realized it's triggered me about my brother, who is currently serving in Afghanistan. I've gotten overly upset because of that personal reason more than anything, and I wanted to apologize if I was rude to anyone.

But I did want to say briefly before I go, I heard from a couple of members on here that you guys didn't know that Canada was serving in Afghanistan! The truth is, we've had a presence in Afghanistan since 2001, shortly after 9/11!! We have a large number of troops there currently. So to anyone who thinks Canada isn't trying to help with the war on terror, we are! In a big way, considering we are a small country. Please educate yourselves about what our country is doing overseas before making quick judgements on us.
