Prime Minister Jean Chretien has said that Canada is ready to lend military support to a U.S.-led coalition to disarm Iraq, but hopes diplomatic efforts can head off a second Gulf War. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20021121/military_iraq_021120?s_name=&no_ads=

On March 25, 2003, during the “shock and awe” bombardment of Iraq, then US Ambassador to Canada Paul Cellucci admitted that “… ironically, Canadian naval vessels, aircraft and personnel... will supply more support to this war in Iraq indirectly... than most of those 46 countries that are fully supporting our efforts there.” http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8110 SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody supposed to know that. We sent no troops for that invasion!!! We stayed out of it!!!!!

Besides it's while providing sniper cover for American troops that a Canadian made the record distance shot at enemy combatant. A distance of 2430 meters.

The longest-ever confirmed sniper kill was made by Master Cpl. Arron Perry of the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan during combat in 2003. Using a .50-caliber MacMillan TAC-50 rifle, Perry shot and killed an Afghan soldier from a distance of 2,430 metres. http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/small-arms-personal-weapons/4087-record-distance-sniper-kill.html Good shot, wrong war karma!

That was a heck of a shot, The record was set during Operation Anaconda when a Canadian three-man sniper team from the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, (PPCLI), set the new record with a shot on a Taliban fighter That's about 1.5 miles That, my friends, is a truly amazing feat. The bullet was in the air for four seconds and dropped 146 feet. About 250 meters longer than Carlos Hathcock's famous shot.

That should tell you, all joking aside, do not pi$$ off her Royal Highness, Princess Patricia of Canada. You might not like her response

I didn't state which action Fanta. Actually the shooter on Operation Anaconda was Rod Furlong. He is now a police officer.

But good idea not to piss off members of the Regiment either. The founding of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry was undoubtedly in response to the unfolding events that led to the First World War. Captain Andrew Hamilton Gault, the founder of the Regiment, had the foresight to understand the severity of the situation in Europe, and the willingness to create an army unit that would be able to mobilize quickly in an international crisis. The creation of the PPCLI enabled Canada to expedite a military force overseas in 1914. http://www.ppcli.com/founding.html The Regiment of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry also has three Victoria Cross winners. Regimental Colours (Old and New) have a combined 22 Battle Honours from WWI, WWII and Korea.
