A decade of war in Afghanistan has cost more than 150 Canadian lives and billions of dollars.

It began without a clear idea of the nature of the operation, when Defence Minister Art Eggleton said he would not use the word “war” as he committed troops to Afghanistan in October, 2001. Nor did anyone know how long the task would take although General Ray Henault, the Chief of Defence Staff, pledged, “We do know that we will contribute … as long as it is required.”
