The Canadian military has been grossly underfunded for years. The one thing I agree with the Harper government about is increasing military spending (though I am more interested in this increase relating to defending our borders, specifically in the North).
I am loathe to break up NATO but it seems that some of the partners are taking it for granted. A shake up is warranted.
I would be happy to keep our combat troops in place as long as needed but increase our presence of non-combat troops (i.e. rebuilding, re-education, etc.).
