If you view that as an error, yes. However, we consider that it is the very basis of land training which gives Canadians the option to assign part of the military to resolve a crisis occurring somewhere. There is no guarantee that we will always be facing situations like the one in Afghanistan. So we have a basic capacity to fight in a contemporary setting, and we can, because of this basic capacity, take a tactical team, like the one currently in Afghanistan, and adapt it to a specific mission. This is the point where we are at now. We do not want our army to be trained solely for the purpose of participating in the mission in Afghanistan.
