Mr. Speaker, we all want to protect the lives of innocent Kosovars but we also have the responsibility to protect our own troops. Let us talk about our troops in Macedonia. They have just received their flak jackets, they have been forced to eat raw meat, they have to beg for their food from the French and they were recently assigned axe handles to beat off the wild dogs.
Why is the defence minister sending our troops into a war zone with only axe handles for protection?
