This is a bit tangled, so bear with me.

British and French commanders in the field as well as diplomats and intelligence experts have long concluded that the war in Afghanistan cannot be won, that the government we have propped up cannot be sustained, and that the Taliban must be invited back into the tent. And all of that should have been obvious when this started. 

There are a hundred Canadian dead in Afghanistan. Nobody gives enough of a damn to count the number of dead Afghanis.
