Many Canadian peacekeepers have died in Afghanistan trying to maintain peace without the use of arms against insurgences since the year 2001. The number of dead Canadian soldiers counted in 2011 was 158 (Mrs. Heighington, June 05, 2012).

Canadian army base need to tell other UN sent armies in Afghanistan about how Canadian soldiers are dressed and also day to day basis Canadian troop activities in the region. Canadian peace keepers were created in order to protect innocent people. The Canadian Government should worry about the fact that their peace keeping mission in Afghanistan has resulted in highly decreasing number of soldiers in different battalions and post traumatic stress problems suffered by soldiers who have returned.
