WAR Cover Story / Article de fond

PREFACE Twenty-six years after graduating from the Royal Military College, I went to war. Certainly I have experienced some interesting times; southern Lebanon in the 1980s, the former Yugoslavia during UNPROFOR days and Cambodia just after the death of the Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot – but never to war, until now. During an interview broadcast in September 2006, Prime Minister Stephen Harper acknowledged that Canada

was indeed fighting a war in Afghanistan. We are facing an enemy in Afghanistan that is set on killing Canadian soldiers. As the age old adage says, it is a case of “kill or be killed.” Canadian soldiers, particularly since our redeployment into southern Afghanistan, have been doing what their grandfathers and great-grandfathers did in previous wars, and they have been doing it magnificently.

AVANT-PROPOS Vingt-six ans après avoir reçu mon diplôme du Collège Militaire Royal (Kingston), je suis allé à la guerre. J’avais déjà vécu des expériences intéressantes : le Sud du Liban en 1980, l’exYougoslavie durant les jours FORPRONU et le Cambodge après la mort de Pol Pot, le leader du Khmer rouge – mais jamais à la guerre, jusqu’à présent. Lors d’un entretien diffusé en septembre 2006, le Premier

Ministre Stephen Harper admit que le Canada combattait dans la guerre en Afghanistan. Nous affrontons un ennemi déterminé à tuer les soldats canadiens. C’est le cas de « tuer ou d’être tué ». Les soldats canadiens, surtout depuis notre redéploiement dans le Sud de l’Afghanistan, font ce que leurs grands-pères et leurs arrièregrands-pères ont fait durant les guerres précédentes et ils réussissent magnifiquement.
