The friendly fire incident got alot of hype, basically the feeling up here was "We are fighting "your war" and you bomb our men?!?" Whether it was news story of the year or not i'm not really sure, regardless, the Canadian Military is still fighting in Afghanistan (world recod is held by a Canadian for longest kill shot), we have agreed to help in Iraq assuming there is a UN resolution, and things like NORAD had ben beefed up. I personally hear every little detail about the American Military, becasue i get CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC and the rest of the major networks. You won't hear anything casue Newsworld, and CBC and CTV don't get broadcast in the US without special sattelite capacity.
