I hear what you're saying. I guess our concern is that the balance is not there, for the most part, in southern Afghanistan. The fact that we're sending over tanks speaks more to the heavy end of the balance that you were looking for. That was our concern.
My other question—and I leave that one with you, if you want to comment on what it may signify, the fact that we are sending those tanks.... That really does tip the balance in terms of heavy artillery, heavy fighting, and more destruction.
I was curious when you mentioned, sir, our troops not being sustainable over 18 months.... What happens to a commander in the field who is told the mission is still continuing but the troops just aren't there, or they aren't able to perform? What happens? Is there then a recommendation from the commander to the minister saying, “I cannot complete the mission you've asked of me because I don't have sufficient forces”, at which time, if there aren't more, that forces us out? What do you do at that stage as a commander, if you don't have those troops who, you say, are already overstressed, in my words?
