"These governments tend to be reluctant to send their forces out into the field to confront the Taliban and control warlords and their militias.

Corporal Shane Keating, Private David Byers and Corporal Keith Morley of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry based in Shilo, Manitoba, and Corporal Glen Arnold from 2 Field Ambulance based in Petawawa, Ont.
