🇨🇦 Canada saved thousands of American troops by taking over frontline operations in Kandahar during the Afghanistan War.
In early 2006, as the United States faced severe troop strain from its escalating commitments in Iraq, Canada dramatically stepped up to assume primary responsibility for one of the most dangerous and Taliban-infested regions in Afghanistan: Kandahar Province. Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel, under Operation Athena (Canada's main combat mission in Afghanistan), deployed in force—peaking at nearly 3,000 troops at any given time—and took command of Regional Command South (later Task Force Kandahar), a multinational brigade that included U.S., British, Dutch, and other allied units.
This bold move directly relieved U.S. forces who had previously been operating in Kandahar. Many American units were able to redeploy to Iraq or elsewhere without leaving a critical security vacuum in southern Afghanistan, where the insurgency was intensifying. By filling this gap during a period when U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan were relatively low (prior to the later surges), Canada effectively preserved American military manpower and resources—allowing the U.S. to maintain pressure on multiple fronts without overstretching even further.
From 2006 to 2011, Canadian troops held the frontline and bore the brunt of some of the fiercest fighting NATO had seen since the Korean War.
Unfortunately I cannot make the @EdmontonOilers game tonight. Tickets for sale section 127 row 12 aisle seats. My cost is $160/seat OBO DM #edmontonoilers
I wonder if the Oilers expected an offer sheet to come from St Louis, if so would it not have been prudent to try and trade for St Louis second round pick from Pittsburgh ahead of time?
