Yes, i go read the DND site regularly, but the number i was speaking about was the number of actual ground soldiers we have - how many infantry soldiers do we have? I read somewhere we had about only 5000... I have no idea if this is true or not.. ?

Canadian involvement with Iraq

I'm not entirely certain. Apparently 24 000 CF personnel are 'deployable', so if you divide that three ways, we'd probably have approximately 8000 infantry. I'd imagine the number would be perhaps a bit higher.

But in the end, it's guess work...
