That you can write about a fiasco such as this in such a matter of fact way is further proof that 'shame' is not a concept familiar among Canadians.
And failure is of little consequence.
Obligations and plans made with allies take a back seat to favorable headlines.
Having a military state of preparedness best described as helpless is one way to get others to provide your national defense.
The many billions of dollars saved on national defense is free money from your worst enemy and is a never acknowledged leg up on every other country in the world that works for a living.

Peace keeping is just too dangerous. Let someone else do it but keep the headlines.
