kurdish militias: There are about 200 members of the Canadian Special Operations Regiment CSOR along with an undisclosed number of the secretive Joint Task Force 2 currently deployed in northern Iraq as trainers for local Kurdish militias, according to The Chronicle Herald. The mandate for these Canadians specifies that they are not to be involved in combat. The only problem is that no one from Canadian Special Operation Forces Command CANSOFCOM was present to explain the recent exploits of our elite commando trainers. No good guys in battle between Daesh, Turkish allies Why U.S.-led coalition isn't rushing to defeat Daesh However, when photographs appeared on the Internet last October clearly showing Canadian commandos firing rocket launchers and blowing up Daesh evil-doers on the front lines, Canadian senior brass scrambled to explain to the Canadian public that this was not combat. At the time those photos were taken, the allied forces including the Kurds under Canadian mentorship were engaged in an all-out offensive against the Daesh-held city of Mosul. Firing rockets and sniper rifles at Daesh was, according to the best spin they could put on it, self-defence.
