On July 3, 2009 the Canadian military came within a heartbeat of losing its future leader.
That was the day a powerful Taliban roadside bomb detonated beneath the light armoured vehicle behind the one carrying then-Brig.-Gen. Jonathan Vance.
Vance was standing in the rear air sentry hatch and saw, as the debris and dust cleared, the lifeless body of a member of his personal detail, Cpl. Nick Bulger, in the other vehicle.
希利尔将军曾这样评价过阿富汗战争;”战争伊始,就决定了无法胜利的结局。但我们奉命来到这里,就要竭尽所有可能使每一个任务完美地完成,此乃军人使命。“”we are proud to serve our country,但希望不要轻易用战争作为解决争端的手段“
