    Default First Canadian Female Soldier Death Since WWII

    EDIT: Could a mod please change Canadian to the correct spelling in the title.

    KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Canada suffered its first female combat death since the Second World War on Wednesday when a woman soldier was killed during fighting with Taliban insurgents in southern Afghanistan, the military said.
    Stuff like this usually doesn't get me down, but this one hit a particular note for some reason.

    Comes with the territory, I'd say.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    Call me sexist or whatever, but I don't think they should let women in combat zones

    They're too small of targets. Gives your side an unfair advantage.

    Why do you hate Freedom?
    The US is marching backward to the values of Michael Stivic.

    Ice I dont see the point in posting this I mean I'm sorry that she was killed but no real point but to mourn a dead Canadian lady. Or that Canada hasn't been involved in a war since WW2
