Without peacekeepers there would be no place for Canada at the top table of selective rectitude. The media are part of the farce. Other gasps of displeasure concerned an officer who was said to have offered a case of champagne to the first man who terminated a Somali. Hardly the sort of thing to say at an NDP convention, admittedly, but understandable when thieves were swiping stuff night and day and the officer had had a few swigs. Not to mention that Somalia is where 18 dead Americans were dragged through the streets by their heels to the cheers of savages.
Soldiers always invent such names.
From Bosnia, meanwhile, came the terrible tidings that our men had a habit of getting drunk. Risking one's ass so that idiot politicians can preen themselves would not be my idea of having a good day. If foreigners want to knock themselves off, let them. Even if they could get in, which they wouldn't. Serves her right.
