It's #@@$% like this:
That makes you think.Brigadier-General Denis Thompson, the top Canadian commander in Kandahar, confirmed that NATO surveillance tracked the fugitives as they fled. But he said it's not Canada's job as part of the International Security Assistance Force to hunt down escaped prisoners.
“You can ask yourself the rhetorical question, what if we find 100 fugitives in the fields?” Gen. Thompson said. “What is ISAF's duty in that circumstance? Is it to go arrest people?”
The commander continued: “We're not policing this country, right? It's not our role to police this country. Our role is to stand behind our Afghan partners and assist them.”
Yeah your right, so what the hay are you here to do besides look perty?
If thats the mentality a commander has I find it very hard to believe that they would be very effectively practicing any kind of real counter-insurgency.
BTW My answer to his Rhetorical would be simple. You sit yourself right down next to them and if they start shooting shoot back harder, If they offer you toast and jam then go with that.
You can't lead without leading by example.
