            <title>More Canadians in Afghanistan.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Here's another picture provided by Dr. Sean Maloney, a military historian who works for the Canadian Forces.&nbsp; Yesterday we were looking at a Canadian Leopard 1 with mine-plow, today, let's take a look at a nattily-dressed Canadian Leopard&nbsp; 2A6M leading the Quick Reaction Force (ORF)&nbsp;along the highway, responding to an IED strike.Larger version available by clicking here.For those of you who don't go back and follow comment threads, I thought I would bring some stuff up out of the comments on other posts on this subject.&nbsp; Of course, if you want to start from the beginning, you would click here...]]></description>

                <![CDATA[Sean, as a young man, I was taught a few things that really stayed with me for many years. First, The difference between a smart man, a foolish man and a wise man. &quot;The smart man learns from his mistakes, the foolish man does not learn from his mistakes, but the wise man learns from other people's mistakes.&quot;<br />
<br />
John, you talk of understanding the &quot;operational environment&quot;. How old is the &quot;understanding&quot;? How big is that very same &quot;operational environment&quot;?&nbsp;The much bigger question is this, &quot;Do we really know and if so, how?&quot; &quot;Do we know all of the players, if so, how?&quot; &nbsp;Don't know? Great, this proves you were an honest man. There was never a question. You have shown us that you wanted to improve your understanding of the &quot;operational environment&quot;.<br />
<br />
Sean, no Commander should feel comfortable with you hanging around them, if you are doing your job correctly. It is like you're not feeling so well and having a group of buzzards or vultures as your regular visitors. For me, I'll take a pass on that one. I have a question from one dumb, grumpy old, American Disabled Vet, me. At the end of your comment to &quot;Paul&quot;, you use an acronym, &quot;BF'EITCTAJ&quot;, what does it mean? If the answer is not Castle Rulez compliant, John has my email address.<br />
<br />
I can easily see why the two of you get along, you have a common motto. &quot;Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.&quot;<br />
<br />

                <![CDATA[Oh, he shouldn't squirm too much....I am really referring to the smug media punditocracy back home and the more shallow &quot;analysis&quot; based on simplistic historical comparisons to earlier times that float around out there-like our Prime Minister saying we can't succeed in AFG&nbsp;because the Brits and Soviets didn't....]]>
