Ambush that killed Canadian soldier unfolded within sight of a forward base

“That was the kind of thing he'd do; he wouldn't tell you, don't do this and he wouldn't purposely try to make you fail, but when it did happen, just the look, you could see it on his face. I should have known better.”

The ambush that took the life of Cpl. Michael Starker unfolded within sight of a heavily defended Canadian forward operating base, much to the horror and dismay of his fellow soldiers and a long-time friend...

We were not sucked in, Canada and the US are neighbors and allies, we need each other like it or not, and many of us have relatives from many generations, that live in both countries.
I feel no need to put down or hate another country to feel better about mine. If I felt that bad about my country that I needed to stoop that low, I would fcking leave it.
Also Canada feels the need to stick their nose in anothers business just as much as the US does, maybe even more.
A man died for your country so that you have the freedom to shoot your mouth off, even when brain is not loaded.
Pricks like this don't deserve the freedoms that others fight to protect, even the ones that fought in wars before. We were in the second world war a lot godamn sooner than the US.

I say may peace be with this brave soul.

I just moved to Edmonton, and go through the military base everyday, and right on brothers, who are out in the Harley's. Nice putts.

I also have a son in law that is in the service and based in Edmonton.

I support my troops, both Canadian and American. As I am a little of both.

Vios con Dios amigo!

Don't like my post, then fck off pinhead. Because all you will get from me is to be ignored, or given back far better than a simple minded dumb fck like you can give. Or I can ignore the ignorant.
