From the egregious Ujjal:

'Liberal defence critic Ujjal Dosanjh said he supported any move by the military to protect troops from harm, but questioned the steady escalation of hardware to Afghanistan, which has gone from jeeps, to armoured vehicles and now tanks.
"Tanks are famous for blasting and smashing things, not reconstruction," said Mr. Dosanjh."'
Well, the Dutch have AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, F-16s and 155 mm self-propelled guns (which probably look like tanks to Canadian journalists) taking part in combat in Afstan and supporting Canadian troops. Does Mr Dosanjh think they are hugging houses.? See this comment at Army.ca:

By the way, the Dutch are taking over command of ISAF Regional Command (South) from us at the end of October.
