Canadian Troops: Afghan Villages and Post-Isil Chaos

canadian troops: Canadian troops in Iraq mount pressure on ISIL around Syrian border Risk of post-ISIL chaos in Iraq casts new light on Canada's support for Kurds In preparing for their deployments, troops would spend upwards of six months conducting exercises in mock Afghan villages with civilian actors playing the part of Afghans, including pretend local journalists because, as we all know, perception can soon become confused with reality, according to The Chronicle Herald. We did not win the war in Afghanistan but those days of purpose and clarity have been replaced with a perplexing set of new challenges for the Canadian military. The rotations of contingents into Kandahar became so routine that the Canadian Army constructed a full-scale replica of the southern Afghanistan region at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright for training purposes. We currently have approximately 200 elite commandos deployed to train Kurds in northern Iraq. However, the Kurds fly the flag of Kurdistan and proudly display that same symbol on their uniforms. These Kurds are battling Daesh aka ISIS evildoers and this is a good thing. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
