There is no such thing as 'limited war'. Even the smallest act of war comes with many blowbacks and unintended consequences. Reagan bombed Libya; a few years later Libya bombed a Pan Am jet over Lockerbie Scotland. 

Was the invasion of Iraq a 'limited war'? At the time, they kept telling the public it was 'time bound' and 'limited' and here we are in 2017 and they are still fighting there. 

Militarily, the Canadian Armed Forces are not a factor or game-changer. It is actually dangerous if they go into real combat with their equipment as it is now. During the Iraq invasion of 2003, the British were not ready and they started the war with their helicopters flying into each other and many other fatal accidents getting off the start line.
