SOLDIERS NEED BEST EQUIPMENT

While I fully support the Canadians over in Afghanistan, what I do not
support is the government sending them there with substandard equipment.

As the casualties are starting to climb one wonders if some of these are
because of inferior supplies. You also hear of soldiers buying their own
supplies because it is better than issue, and this cannot be tolerated.

If the government wants these men and women over there they should be
issued the best equipment available. After all it is the soldiers’ lives
that are at stake.
