Before Taliban Jack starts screaming...

About the latest casualties in Afghanistan... consider this.

Every year in Canada... we lose the same number of children to drowning... as the total number of battle casualties to date, since 2001.
Each year an average of 58 children drown and at least 140 others are hospitalized after being saved from drowning in Canada.

Drowning is the second cause of traumatic death in Canadian children under 14.
But that won't stop Jack and his mindless leftbot horde from making political hay out of the deaths of these brave soldiers.

Why is that?

PERSPECTIVE: It's dangerous here too

FROM THE COMMENTS:
No good deed...
"Improvements in medical care since the Taliban fell five years ago have led to a marked decrease in Afghanistan's infant mortality rates - 40,000 fewer infant deaths a year."
