Landmines are cruel, and are a throwback of old technology.

When Izzy died, the media was busy following OJ in his white Bronco. I felt ashamed to call myself Canadian.

Cpl. Isfield of 1CER was in Bosnia clearing landmines from a farmer's field so that the man could plant a crop again and provide for his family. Unfortunately, the man was Serbian in a town of Croatians. The other side decided to plant some mines to kill/evict him. It happened on both sides over there, and like a true Canadian, I am making not judgements on one side or another.

The problem I have is that the ingenious cock-sucker who planted that particular minfield used a "Daisy Chain" setup where setting one mine off caused all the other mines to go off as well. Izzy got dead, and 4 guys were pretty badly hurt. He was on the front lines, doing what Princess Diana wanted him to do.

Imagine the same commercial, except when that poor girl set the one mine off, the whole fucking field went up with her. Excuse me, but I have to go throw up now.

BTW, when a local sets off a mine, their family DOES NOT RUN OVER TO CONSOLE THE CHILD. There is always more than one mine deployed. Always. That is why it is called a mineFIELD. Instead, the child lies there, dying alone, while the community screams and cries. It takes HOURS, sometimes DAYS, to recover a body from a minefield. All the father would do by running out there to hold his child is add one more to the statistic. The locals know that. It looked good for the drama though.

I won't sleep tonight, thank you very much. But the word needs to spread that the United States of America refused to sign that international treaty, because it "May limit our military strategy".

Izzy, sleep well my friend. You are a hero in my eyes.
