Reply #1: Some questions... [View All]

[Bragi]

When I first heard about the four soldiers killed by a suicide bomber when handing out candy etc to children in a public square, I wondered why they were doing this, given that it is known to be a dangerous thing to do not just for the soldiers, but also for anyone who accepts their gifts.

Why was awareness of this not part of the basic training received by our troops? Why were our troops doing this at all? Was this, in fact, a photo op being prepared as part of the Harper government's propaganda that went lethal? Is that what these troops died for?

And why hasn't a single Canadian reporter asked these questions?

(Okay, I know the answer to the last one, but I thought I'd throw it in anyway.)
