The annoying thing is that JTF2 is starting to regularly appear in news articles. The existence of this unit, let alone its comings and goings, was not supposed to be the subject of public discussion. It was only because a former Minister of Defence went on a publicity hunt that it became known in 2003 that JTF2 was being deployed to Afghanistan.
But Canadian civilians are also generally ignorant of the comings and goings of our conventional light infantry and cavalry in Afghanistan and our frigates and destroyers rotating into the Gulf of Arabia, which is not how I would have preferred it but which seems to be just how our Liberal government and our liberal media want it.
Put me in that category also. Listening to the Liberals talk, I'd come away with the idea that they had disdained any co-operation with the US at all. From what you say, they do still recognizes some value in being involved with the US in the WOT effort, in spite of their posturing. Thanks.
