Bien que les études démontrent que les Canadiens continuent de croire au mythe des Forces canadiennes gardiennes de la paix mondiale, le fait est que lorsque nos soldats furent déployés outre-mer, ils ont presque toujours servi dans des situations de combat dangereuses. Mais le mythe du guerrier pacifique persiste.
Despite the fact that studies have shown that Canadians continue to believe in the myth of the Canadian Forces as international peacekeepers, whenever our troops have gone overseas they have nearly always served in dangerous combat situations, But the myth of the gentle warriors persists, and it is probably the reason that when the government promised an additional 5,000 personnel during the last election campaign, it took pains to insist that the new personnel would be designated as peacekeepers.
