Because there is no draft currently, the people who are in the military, especially in Canada, are in it because they are convinced that this is the right choice.

These are people who are least likely to turn against war. So when Canadian or American soldiers go to Iraq or Afghanistan, see for themselves what is going on over there and if that is sufficient to radically change their views, then I say they should quit the military and speak out against the evil that is going on in these countries.

What are you afraid of, that things are that bad in Afghanistan, that enough soldiers will quit and speak out against it, that the Canadian military will fall apart?

If things are that bad, and this happens, then I say, "Good. It damn well should happen."

I feel that freedom of expression and freedom of conscience, as guarenteed by our Constitution, and (supposedly) what we are fighting to promote in Afghanistan and protect here at home, should extend to Canada's soldiers.
