Guilty as charged, Stilly.

And I lived through the whole thing as a worker bee in National Defence Headquarters and Canadian Expeditionary Force Command Headquarters.

I wrote and rewrote the official Canadian government website pages on our military operations in Afghanistan several times a year from 2001 to 2013. At the same time, I wrote and revised all the stuff we published about all our other foreign deployments. So I have had a good long time to make up my mind.
