If these troops are so eager, the Canadians can lead the charge into Syria. We Americans will finally get to sit one out.

You guys should give yourselves a pat on the back. Oh wait, you already do.

Didn't you mostly sit out Libya plus a goodly chunk of WWI and a couple of years of WWII?

Bahahahahahaaa

Why not try to resolve Somalia, a real issue where the country actually needs major help stabilizing due to an insane number of factions fighting over control of the area?

Are you fucked? Having spent a year of my life around the Horn, it's not worth the bones of a single Canadian Grenadier.

"Canadian Bacon" anyone! We could do a proper re enactment of 1812. The White House could do with a new paint job anyway.

You actually think we should invest capital and troops in that?

But this sounds more like guys that want some action. Any action, the reason for it doesn't matter. Let's just go and kill some scumbags.

You're making too many assumptions.

No blue beret missions please.

There's one born every minute. But I read soldier's comments that they were glad they were going to Astan because it would be good for their careers. I guess if you make it thru reasonably unscathed, that's true.

I don't understand this. I thought soldiers said they are reluctant to go to war, but take on the heavy burden for the good of the country. We should say a big thank you to them for that. But this sounds more like guys that want some action. Any action, the reason for it doesn't matter. Let's just go and kill some scumbags.

Soldiers and sailors are well trained and well motivated folk who want to use that training for the good of people. Whether it's in Darfur to help refugees, the Med to keep an eye on Syria, or any other hotspot needing our help, if they feel that what they are doing is helping people, then generally speaking, they'll go and they'll want to go. It of course can become more complicated by politics and such, but at its core it is generally that.

No surprise this would be lost on you. The only service you've done is for yourself.

I don't think there are many of those left these days and I don't think the public would have the appetite for another Bosnia where our boys sit horn idle really doing little to help save act as bullet sponges.
