RIP.Pro Rege et Patria
-Here richly, with ridiculous display,
The Politician's corpse was laid away.
While all of his acquaintance sneered and slanged
I wept: for I had longed to see him hanged.

Re: 3 Canadians Killed in IED Blast
The article has been updated to state that two other soldiers were seriously wounded in the attack - here's hoping they recover quickly and completely.

Re: 3 Canadians Killed in IED Blast
Two of the three killed have been identified, both were members of 1st Bn The Royal Canadian Regiment. One was on his first tour, the other had been wounded on a previous tour in 2006.

2 KIA Afghanistan - 27 Dec 08
RIP Lads. Particularly poignant as one is from my regiment.
CTV News Top Stories
Two Canadian soldiers have died in Afghanistan after a bomb exploded west of Kandahar city. An Afghan policeman and interpreter were also killed in the blast.
The soldiers had been conducting security operations in the volatile Panjwaii district, where Canadian troops have repeatedly fought against Taliban gunmen.
The military has identified the slain soldiers as:
* Warrant Officer Gaeten Joseph Roberge, a member of the Royal 22nd Regiment who was serving with the Irish Regiment of Canada in Sudbury, Ont. He was serving in Afghanistan to help train the country's national police force.
* Sgt. Greg John Kruse from the 24 Field Squadron, 2 Combat Engineer Regiment based in Petawawa, Ont. He was serving as a member of 3rd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment battle group.
"There are no words to properly express our sorrow at this moment," Brig.-Gen. Denis Thompson, the head of Canadian and NATO forces in Kandahar, said in a statement. "Every one of our soldiers is very dear to us. They are our friends and our brothers."
