Nous n'avons jamais cherchez la bagarre au Canada, mais chaque fois que nous avons été confronté à la guerre, les Canadiens ont montré qu'ils sont parmi les soldats ,les marins et les aviateurs les plus courageux, les plus compétent et les plus efficaces du monde.We never look for the fight in Canada, but whenever we were faced with war, Canadians have proofed himself they are among the soldiers, sailors and airmen the bravest, most competent and most efficient in the world.

Did you heard the bullet who pass over canadian position and the noise made by the 25mm gun?

Canadians have always been great military. From when they were in World 1 and 2.Were no joke and we can get the job done when needed.

"They're definately gonna wonder who the Canadians are from here on out, that's for sure!"...hell ya. Kudos to Scott Kesterton for the great footage and to all our Canadian allies for the blood and sweat they give in Afghanistan! You guys rock!

...easier and safer than letting them shoot back.Anyhoo; just want to add my appreciation to Mr. Kesterson in his superb footage of 'ma boyz'. And to all soldiers of every country serving today. Keep tight, lads, stay sharp. We who fought salute you who fight. - Staiduk

Oh - looks like my reply idea doesn't work very well. OK, I'll be brief, sorry. :) Anyway, bodies are found where the target fell - behind doors, in windows, etc. Rarely out in the open unless they're running. An assault is mad, tense and bewildering; the only thing that keeps it on track is the discipline of the soldiers and leadership of the NCO's. Folks have stated they see a lot of random fire - the whole point in an assault is to pump fire downrange to keep their heads down...

I can assure you this is very real. I wasn't involved in Afghanistan, my war ended in '93. But this is what the real thing looks like. There are no labels, no slowly-moving silhouetted enemy to shoot at. This is war; not a rifle range or video game. The enemy don't want to be shot any more than we do; and they are good fighters. Miserable soldiers, but good fighters. There is a difference.You don't see bodies, because unlike war movies, they don't politely stack themselves up like cordwood...

Just a quick note to Thanato: Just want to shake your hand, Sir; you've been doing sterling service keeping this conversation on a respectful level. Too often the armchair critics and 'mom's basement' weenies take over with their usual drivel.Now, let me add a few comments of my own. I'll need to reply to myself given the 500 character limit, but brevity has never been my strong suit. :)To those that think this is staged, due to the lack of bodies/visible enemy:

a good point. i had forgotten to take into account your forces' much smaller size.
