The photo dates back to 2006 and it’s only now that Canadian troops have finally left Afghanistan. Was anything accomplished, anything gained for the lives we spent, Afghani and Canadian? Did we waste our military resources and vast sums of public money?
Some schools were built, some girls got to attend, we are told. Cold comfort. There are needs for schools and educational opportunities for boys and girls here in Canada, and we don’t need military force to deliver them. All we need are better political priorities.
