I am sorry to hear that the current unpleasantness in A'stan is being considered part of Canada's peacekeeping. It is anything but.
Unlike other peacekeeping missions this one is not under UN auspices. It is an armed conflict, with Canadian soldiers knowingly, willingly and professionally going into harm's way in order to seek out and destroy the enemy.
Let us remember our peacekeepers as they are well-deserving of that recognition, but let's not downplay the current conflict in Afghanistan, rather let's include this mission with those of Korea and the two wars.
