Another Canadian Soldier was killed in Afghanistan. The irony of this is he was a member of an operation to go after Taliban weapons and bomb-making caches. This brings the total number of the Canadian Military members killed while serving in Afghanistan to 108. If you look over the circumstances of the 108 deaths, you will quickly discover that the roadside bombs are by far the number cause. Despite the determination of the Taliban, it seems to me that a country such as Canada should be better able to equip our troops and provide protection from such a primitive and indiscriminate attack. It is time that we spent the money to provide our soldiers with the equipment the will help ensure their safe return to the country that they so faithfully serve. Please take the time to honour our latest fallen comrade.
