Teribus - How do you think these guys got to Afghanistan? ...and this after "friendly fire" from the U.S. killed four Canadian soldiers.

The Canadian contribution to the NATO-led International Security Assistance
                   Force (ISAF) is known as Operation ATHENA . With about 1,900 personnel
                   deploying in each rotation, the Canadian contingent is the largest in ISAF.
                   Canadian soldiers conduct regular patrol missions in the Canadian area of
                   responsibility. In addition, they are involved in a number of projects, such as
                   digging wells and repairing buildings, to help improve the quality of life of the
                   people in their area.
