I aggree ... at least 100%; but what's bugging my ass is that I can't figure out why
I mean why would Canada send JTF/FOI 2 to, well, guard an office building and a flying truck? It's like having the SAS do crowd control at a Stanley home game.
It's a BS reason. But, in countries like Canada and the UK, both parliamentary democracies, at least some info has to be handed out to the great unwashed. Of course, Mali is a good place to have stuff like this happen. Not too many of us know where it is, and most of those don't give a flying you-know-what. Most folks are too busy catching up on CSI and Pawn Stars.
In Iraq, it was oil; in Afghanistan it was a war on Osama's mob ... sort of died down when the SEALS wasted him. But Mali
