It's sad that Canadian soldiers actually want to go to Afghanistan. I'm afraid of who they will turn around and try to fight once Canadian soldiers get pulled out!

That's the result of social conditioning from early childhood. The impression that (the majority) of Canadian soldiers want to go to Afghanistan itself is "spin". That's the story the government and the military want to tell and want you to believe. The corporate owned media lap this stuff up right out of their hands. In Canada, the military dissuades, threatens and intimidates any soldier or their family that is publicly critical of the war. The fact that PTSD, alcoholism, licit and illicit drug abuse, domestic and criminal violence and suicide have skyrocketed in the military and within military families since 2002, tells another story.
The only soldiers who can be said to willingly go to Afghanistan are Army Reservists because they can choose: That is, if you discount the pro war indoctrination and pressure they are subjected to.
For the Reg(ular) Forces, when you sign your induction papers - you are signing a legal document that literally puts the power of making decisions over your physical and emotional health and over your life and death to anyone who is your "superior" (which, when you first get in is everyone) in your chain of command.
No one knows for certain how they are going to react to war - until they get there. Consequently, not many people know how popular or unpopular Afghanistan is among Canadian soldiers. Canadian soldiers, like our American counterparts, need the Courage to Resist.

The German Offensive in Afghanistan
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/jul2009/pers-j27.shtml
"The German Army has dramatically intensified its intervention in Afghanistan in the past few days. For the first time since Hitler's troops laid waste to large parts of Europe, the German army is again conducting major military operations against "rebellious elements." According to press reports, the 21-cm Morser 18 was one of the main weapons used by Hitler's Wermacht on all of the fronts of the Second World War. Now the same weapon in its modern form is being used once again to rain destruction upon the enemy. The decision for the latest deployment was not made by the German parliament, but rather by the Army High Command itself.."

Oh, that's great. Just like Germany did (wrt) Finland in World War II.
