Not Funny

There is nothing funny about Afghanistan right now.



The Afghanistan house is burning down and these people are taking the piss out of Canada's Army --One of the few forces that has actually been in real, sustained combat over there? How tone-deaf can you get? Canadians have been eating it in Kandahar for quite some time, and given the gravity of the situation in that benighted land right now, this light-hearted ridicule from a bunch of chuckleheads is both offensive and really clueless. Newsflash: Things are dire! This thing is far from won. This isn't a time to mock your allies.

At least the Canucks are there in a serious way, which is more than you can say for many other NATO countries. Afghanistan is about to make Iraq look like the invasion of Grenada, and we have lighthearted topical comedy about Canada's mission coming from these clowns. We'll see how much everyone is laughing in a year's time...
