From the Toronto Star, via Lucianne, we get a story about the paucity of firepower among the Coalition’s Afghan allies. “One of Afghanistan’s top field commanders wants Canada to provide his troops with better weapons to fight the Taliban,” the Star reports. The paper quotes Lt.-Col. Shereen Shah Kohbandi complaining that Afghan soldiers “have nothing. We have no strong weapons.” There’s not much new information in the article, but THE WORLDWIDE STANDARD cannot pass up an opportunity to rib our Canadian allies. Here’s a video that was posted over at Defense Tech yesterday showing “the
French
Canadian Army at their lethal best.”

Probably not what Kohbandi had in mind.
