What is missed in this discussion is that Canada's sacrifice, on a per capita basis, if I can use that term, Canadian soldiers are being killed at very closely the same rate as U.S. servicemen. Some may belittle the contribution that Canada as a nation has made in the war on terrorism, but at the level of the individual soldier, a Canadian has just as much chance of dying as an American.
Never let us or the world forget this fact.
