Sgt. John Faught Has Died In Afghanistan. Is This War A Waste Of Canada`s Time?

Yesterday, sergeant  John Faught died in Afghanistan after taking part in a foot patrol.  Faught`s  tragic death adds to the body count.  One hundred and thirty-nine Canadian soldiers have died in Afghanistan.

The media only report the superficial elements of this tragedy. The  news doesn`t provide in-depth analysis about the problems in Afghanistan.

There are no articles published about the devastation to the families of  the deceased Canadian soldiers. I am cognizant that  the media briefly speak to the bereaved families of the deceased soldiers.

However, why hasn’t the Canadian media followed up with the soldiers families months or years later?  There needs to be a stronger understanding of the sheer devastation and destruction that these senseless deaths cause the Canadian families.

Is Afghanistan really changing at all? Is Canada’s presence really helping the Afghan people?

Where are the articles about the depression, the grief, the despair, of these Canadian soldiers families?

The press just gloss over the deaths of our soldiers as  patriotic.  The quandary is, the problems in Afghanistan are complex.  The Canadian people  must challenge the Stephen Harper regime a bit more.  We are too complacent just watching more and more Canadian  soldiers dying in vain. What are our soldiers dying for?

I believe it is time for  the Canadian soldiers now!  So many Canadian  soldiers have died and so little has changed  for the Afghan people. The United Nations needs to do more to help Afghanistan and the rest of the western world. Canada has done enough it is time for Canada to leave.
