When you look at the military, I think you're dealing with a very distinct social organization, and the individuals, in terms of morale, depend heavily upon each other because they're dependent on each other for their lives. The intimacy of that social relationship is far more profound than anything we can find in civilian life. In that sense, what is most critical to their morale is the folks around them.
Characteristically, according to the comments of people who return, they are also very conscious of the moral imperative of what they are doing. They see the need for the people of Afghanistan; they see a destroyed state, a state that is showing some signs of revival but is still an enormously fragile state. They see it every day, and in that sense they are tremendously directed to the idea that the mission be achieved, which is the stabilization of a fragile country to allow reconstruction to take place. The impact of the withdrawal of Canadian Forces on the troops would be that sense of having abandoned a critically important mission that is so important to the people of Afghanistan and the world, and the feelings they would have of almost being betrayed by the people who had decided to withdraw those forces.
