We have an urgent need to send 600 troops to Canada's  north and learn how to defend and develop the north at the same time. We have no need to send our troops to Africa, Europe or anywhere else and put out service people at risk and spend our treasury when so much more is needed at home. It is nuts to think of sending our soldiers in harms way and somehow think we are doing good. Only the nut bar political class could come to this conclusion.
