Jack Granatstein has just explained to the Taliban why they should pay special attention to Quebec's own Royal 22nd Regiment when they ship out to Afghanistan.
The Toronto Star interviewed Granatstein, a real booster of Canada's newfound military muscle, about the Van Doos:
"Historian Jack Granatstein said insurgents know that opinion in Canada is split and will try to capitalize on that as more than 2,000 troops from CFB Valcartier, near Quebec City, begin to deploy over the coming months.
"'I fully expect the Taliban to target the Van Doos,' he said yesterday in an interview, referring to the famed Royal 22nd Regiment.
"'I think (the Van Doos are) going to do very well militarily but I think they will take casualties and that's the difficulty.'"
