Two More Lost and the Pot Attack
| 10/14/2006 | Posted by Patti under General |
Two more Canadian soldiers lost their lives today in Afghanistan. Two more working on building a road. Layton will likely suggest that aid workers should be doing that building so those nasty militants wouldn’t attack them.
While I’m being sarcastic, seems like as good a spot as any to bring this story into the pot…errr mix…. “Canada Troops Battle 10-ft Marijuana Plants” seems that the Afghans grow them tall and strong and then the Taliban hides in them. The challenge is how to get rid of them without getting our troops higher than kites.
Over on the Army.ca site the people posting there (some of them vets of Afghanistan) have enjoyed some comic relief on the subject along with some thoughtful suggestions on what to do with the drug crops.
We Will Remember Them

They shall grow not old, as we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them
In memory of our fallen Canadian:
Sgt. Darcy Tedford — Afghanistan Oct. 14, 2006
Pte Blake Williamson — Afghanistan Oct 14, 2006
