The Civil War began 159 years ago this month. The death toll of that war remains higher than both World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam combined but did you know that 2/3's of the casualties were from disease?

Муд: дождаться ночи, позвать друзей, поставить ирокез и пройти под Пурген, Casualities, The Devotchkas и WBTBWB от дома до вокзала через весь проспект.

Between 2001 and 2014, 159 Canadian soldiers died while on mission in Afghanistan.

Of these, 123 were due to hostile circumstances, including 95 due to improvised explosive devices (IED) or landmines, 21 due to rocket-propelled grenade, small arms or mortar fire, 11 due to suicide bomb attacks, and one died falling from a high ground position on a cliff during a combat operation that involved firefight.

An additional 22 soldiers died in accidents or other non-combat circumstances; 7 due to "friendly fire", 6 in vehicle accidents, two in an accidental helicopter crash, 2 from accidental falls, 2 from accidental gunshots, 1 suicide death and 2 unspecified non-combat-related deaths in country. Additionally, one unspecified non-combat-related death occurred at a support base in the Persian Gulf.

Canada suffered the third-highest absolute number of deaths of any nation among the foreign military participants, and one of the highest casualties per capita of coalition members since the beginning of the war.

Lebanon explosions

This is heart wrenching. Nearly 158 people died, 6000 injured and 21 still missing. Hospitals are still lacking necessary supplies due to Covid-19 pandemic. Almost 300,000 people lost their home. My condolences to all the people affected by it. I can’t even imagine what they are going through.

Donate if you can. They need it more than us right now.
