Well, actually, the Canadian army went into Afghanistan without desert camo, becuase we don't have any! All's we got is green stuff. Not many deserts in Canada, I guess. Loads of forests, though.
Not that that's an excuse. We like to think of ourselves as peacekeepers, so we should be ready to go anywhere in the world for that purpose. I suppose that any defense funds that the military can squeeze out of the government should really go towards stopping our helicopters from plummeting from the sky (as they have a propensity to do, since they're about as old as I am!).
