You mean the troops who have no business being there in the first

I have never given any support to this ill-advised adventure nor do I
feel
that Afghanistan constitutes any threat to Canada or any other
nation,
unlike the threat caused by spiralling US military spending.

*you* have a visible undercurrent of resentment? I wasn't asking a
rhethorical question.
