CBC: Canada's top general worries military lacks capacity to lead Haiti mission  

'The solution's got to come from the host nation itself,' said Gen. Wayne Eyre  

Canada's top general said he was concerned that his country's armed forces, which are already stretched thin by support for Ukraine and NATO, do not have the capacity to lead a possible security mission to Haiti. 

Haiti's government and top United Nations officials have called for an international force to support Haitian police in their struggle against gangs, which have become the de facto authorities in parts of the country.

I have more respect for the general than Justin Castro.

But what popped out to me was that rack. Double D. No seriously all those medals. I would like an explanation for each one. You could get medals at the end of tour of for special events for managing personnel, resources and finances well and rack up a dozen or more.

It jumps out, because the Canadian military is small and what war were they in for how long and for what impact?

You can also buy medals on Amazon. Made in China, so cheap.

Canada is a quasi Fascist country and these generals are given medals on their birthdays and whenever they make dear leader happy.

Well, if our government would make the others PAY for part of their defense, this would not have happened. Ugh!

The Canadian military isn't a joke because of procurement... This is nice but it's still is and always will be an imperial dependent.

To go into Hati and be successful, the nation in question would need a will of iron and the agessiveness of a wolverine.

Haiti is a money and manpower pit for any "normal" westernized military.
