If I can provide one additional context, it is that many of the nations that contribute forces are contributing conscripts; we have a professional military, a volunteer force. We do have a rigorous professional development system, but in all my travels it keeps coming back to one thing: our values-based system. In that sense we may wear a uniform, but we're Canadian and it's about what we bring onto the international stage as Canadian values. Notwithstanding the professionalism of our military, from a military perspective, Canadian values are in demand.
