Fox News Insults Canada's ISAF Mission

In a blatant episode of unenlightened, moronic journalism, the Fox News show "Red Eye" mocked Canada's combat mission in Afghanistan. Given that Canada is one of the few countries whose troops operate in Southern Afghanistan, without limitations on their mandate, these comments are entirely idiotic and insensitive. Also, of all the countries operating in Afghanistan, Canada has sustained the highest casualty ratio. It frustrates me to know that shows like Red Eye are allowed on the air, and even worse, that people watch them. This is just another example of the traditional media abdicating its role as a credibile news source.

Oh, and I would love to see the hosts and panelists of Red Eye go to Afghanistan and see for themselves how soldiers routinely operate in 6000+ elevation with 90+ pound packs, and engage in gruesome fighting with a fanatical enemy. These armchair quarterbacks disgust me.
