Canada in Afghanistan

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

For those in the know, what proportion of Canucks in-theatre at any given time are militia types? While obviously those who go have to be in top form, is this just another chapter in the time-honoured 'call-out' book, or has the demand dictated new criteria for service?

Either way, this reminds me of the warm pride we as a nation share at the 1939 response to the call to arms...

OPSEC is obviously a primary consideration - if there are concerns, please PM me separately.
