PM Harper yesterday issued a statement on the passing of Corporal David Braun, saying:
"[...]Our country honours this brave soldier, who exemplifies the best that Canada has to offer. [...]"
Somebody (churchill?) is quoted as something something like: "he who brings an ally on board is twice as valuable as the general who wins an important battle" or something to that effect. I would hope that Harper, beyond the warmth of his important words for cpl Braun's loved ones, does not think that this country does not have anything better to offer than soldiers who can bravely fight a military campaign in an almost forgotten place with little diplomatic 2nd prong.
