Canadian forces in Afghanistan need to be evacuated from the country before more families lose the ones they love in war.

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). Most Canadian soldiers/ peace keepers are dying from improvised explosive device (IED) which is a definite warning that has been ignored by the Canadian government for a very long time thus increasing the death rate by this bombing method by the insurgences.

Canadian soldiers/ peacekeepers shouldn’t be going trough post traumatic stress for years after they return from the war and as a precaution need to be evaluated by the psychiatrist before they return to their families in Canada. The insurgences unfortunately aren’t the only ones to be blamed for the death of Canadian Soldiers but also friendly firing by the US. in Afghanistan. “Two U.S. aircraft mistakenly fired on a Canadian platoon taking part in NATO's massive anti-Taliban operation in southern Afghanistan, killing one soldier and injuring dozens of others”( CBC news, September4,2006,www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2006/09/04/afghanfriendly.html).
