The Canadian media made a big deal at the time of bragging that JTF2 was in while the American military was still staging.
The Canadian media has no idea what JTF2 does.
The CBC announced JTF2 was sent in at the time. The military does tell the media some things JTF2 does once in a while. The politicians need to brag, otherwise what's the point in having JTF2?
JTF2 is special ops, revealing what they do endangers their lives. Why would they announce that JTF2 was going in? It doesn't help them at all. They are meant to operate without anyone knowing they are there, leaking it could get them killed. Leaking they were heading into Afghanistan doesn't make any tactical sense. From the JTF2 website.

As such, many unit missions require that JTF 2 members provide little to no deployment details to their family.
But they are going to announce to the world where they are going?

JTF 2 normally operate under strict security guidelines.
Except when being deployed to a hostile area.

Ever watch CPAC? I do. I saw a press conference with a JTF2 officer who was coy but did answer some media questions as to what JTF2 is doing in Afghanistan. Again, politicians wanted him there. It was actually quite informative. Most of my knowlege of what JTF2 is doing came from that one press conference. Nothing like getting it directly from the horse's mouth.
Oh really? So they said on national television that this man was part of JTF2?

For reasons of national security the CF does not discuss the details of JTF 2 organization, capabilities or activities.
You sure about that one?
Nice try.
