| Answer: |
The peacekeeping role is the only effective role for the Canadian military.
National defence and 'support' for international coalitions is only ever a symbolic gesture on our part. Do not take this as a criticism, I feel that we should not strive to have a large force with a focus on combat.
I think it is appropriate for us to rely on world bodies, such as the United Nations, for our defence. Especially if we have contributed in a peacekeeping role. |
