Well, again, taking a long view, a 100-year view of this issue, the best way to maintain popular support for the mission is to carry out missions that are morally just. In those instances in which Canada has become involved in struggles around the world to do the right thing, whatever that may be, whatever it's understood to be at the time, the armed forces have had the full support of the population—with the extension that it's your job, the job of all of you, to make the public understand what the morality of the mission is.
There were no Winston Churchills for Afghanistan. There was not even a good William Lyon Mackenzie King for Afghanistan. The Canadian public and the Canadian Forces were let down by a political leadership of Canada that did not clearly explain to the public—and still has not explained—why it was necessary for our men and women to die for the service of this nation or any other.
