I'm glad my Canadian taxes are helping the troops in Afghanistan..
Other than pay increases for serving members in the Big "A" there is probably no better moral booster than Tim Horton's...

I totally agree! One only had to see the line around the block during OP MARCOT at the Stephenville, NFLD. Tim Horton's to understand the boost for morale that this most Canadian of shops delivers. I'm not going to compare being on exercise with deployment in a hot zone like 'Stan. The exercise was a bag drive but no danger and it only lasted a month, still, it was wonderful to grab an Iltis or LSVW and steal away from camp to grab a coffee and a doughnut...a little bit of normalcy. I can only imagine how good it must feel to get a break, if only a small one, from the realities of Afghanistan. Now if we can only get Don Cherry to visit the boys!
