    On a serious note, the number of Canadians killed in Afghanistan is just way, way too high. The mission is a failure, it's time they just accept it and cut our losses.

    What is it now, 160+ Canadians killed there?

      Why should Canada do things most of NATO is unwilling to do if they don't percieve a national interest in doing so, BK?
      If this were about national interest we'd have not got into it at the start. My belief is if you are going to start ****, you better finish!

        FWIW Obama is more popular in Canada than Harper is. And he's more popular in Canada than he is in America. I think his wishes carry more favour than you may know.

        And Bush had single-digit approval ratings here last I heard.

          That's still only about a fifth of your armed forces. If you really wuvved us, you'd go the whole mile.

              Not sure you comprehend what is going on here. The Conservatives in Canada want to pull out, the Democrats in the US want to stay.
              As much as I hate Obama, I love seeing him squirm implementing Cowboy Bush's policies to save his own hide.

              Harper isn't stupid. If he's agin' this all the leftards can gang up on him and force him to keep troops in afghanistan.

                Possible. He's also quite popular in Europe as well but hasn't been able to get any substantive increases in NATO troop commitments or freer ROE among the allies there. I don't see him being more sucessful with the Canadians.

                  Hey Ben, if you feel so strongly about the Afghan war and fighting Islamic extremism, why haven't you volunteered your fat ass? I'm sure you'd make a great decoy.

                          A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

                            Another example of Canadians living down to my expectations. Ya'll are lucky enough to have a leader who isn't an economic ******, yet you prefer Obama...

                              Because my hearing is far below that which is acceptable.

                              Audiometric average threshold for each ear of not more than 25 dB at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz, with no individual level greater than 30 dB. And, hearing threshold cannot exceed 45 dB at 4000 Hz for either ear.
                              My hearing at 1000 and 2000 hz is unrecordable on a standard audiology chart. At 250 it's normal. At 500, it's about 25 decibels.

                              Also:

                              history of refractive error

                              prior to any refractive surgery manifest by any refractive error in spherical equivalent of worse than -8.00 or +8.00
                              diopters is disqualifying.
                              Mine are -10 diopters right now. So as far as I can see I fail on both counts, on vision and hearing. However, I can do all the other fitness requirements. Can't do much about my hearing and eyes.
