In 2006, the occupying United States forces turned security for the country over to NATO deployed forces in the region, integrating their 20,000 soldiers with NATO's own 20,000. The Canadian military assumed leadership and almost immediatly began an offensive against areas where the Taliban guerrillas had encroached. At the cost of only a few dozen of their own soldiers, the British, American, and Canadian forces managed to kill over 1,000 Taliban fighters and send thousands more into retreat. Many of the surviving guerrillas, however, began to regroup and further clashes are expected by both NATO and Afghan government military commanders.
interesting, the canadians succeded in a few months what the americans could not acomplish in years.
Again, I am not a canadian
discuss.
