C) Don't beat your "wife" - you'll go blind.
A) Answer the question.

B) Do you expect the rest of the world just to do its thing, and have no impact on you? The UN is ineffective & corrupt. It does not have the will nor desire to solve any real world issues. It just wants the US to foot the bill, and provide the bulk of the military force. If the US does not assist, very few (except UK & Canada) provide anything other than critizism, and not much gets done.

The last time I checked the US still had the majority of troops (20,000) vesus Canada's (6,000) troops in Afghanistan. I still appreciate the brave soldiers that Canada has sent in light of it's smaller Armed Forces. Used to jump into to Petawawa (probably messed up the spelling) and train with Canadian Airborne soldiers. I enjoyed working with the proffesional troops there.
Canada has the lead and the US are in support. Canada is taking the majority of KIA's and are currently leading combat operations.

According to NATO's website that isn't true. The US currently has units from the 10th Moutain, 101st, and 82nd Airborne Divison, not to mention units of Marines.

I meant that Canada was in charge of the NATO operation. We currently have about 3,000 troops
