There are about 100,000 US troops in Afghanistan, and less than 1000 Canadians. That may have something to do with the lack of recognition.

At the moment, I don’t know exactly how many Canadien soldiers are in Afganistan, but for most of the time the last few years, the number of Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan have been about 2200
If Munin is correct in that there are about 2,200, then that is serious number for a country with roughly 1/10 the population of the USA.
According to Wiki 157 Canadian soldiers died in Afghanistan. US deaths were 1765. Since the US population is 10 times the Canadian population I think the butchers bill was just about equal.
