Canadian Soldiers train with the Korean Army for the First Time
This is a pretty cool training exercise, but you would think the Canadians would have been able to send more than just 44 Soldiers for this training:
Army troops of South Korea and Canada launched joint high-tech military drills in South Korea for the first time earlier this week, officials said Friday, as part of efforts to bolster bilateral military ties between the two nations.
The 11-day exercise, which runs through April 30, is under way at the Korea Combat Training Center (KCTC), a facility employing advanced technologies for realistic ground drills, in the mountainous county of Inje, some 125 kilometers northeast of Seoul, according to Army officials.
A group of 44 soldiers from the Canadian Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, an Army regiment that served in the 1950-53 Korean War, has been deployed to train alongside South Korean troops from the 7th Infantry Division.
The joint training comes as the Canadian troops visited South Korea to commemorate the 75th anniversary of a key battle that took place in the northern county of Gapyeong in April 1951 at the height of the three-year war.

“…but you would think the Canadians would have been able to send more than just 44 Soldiers for this training:”
Considering the very low state of readiness among Western European armies and considering the wannabe Western European nature of countries like Canada, only being able to send 44 soldiers should not be a surprise.
They need to train with the allies to practice defending against the USA, which has constantly threatened Canada with invasions. The US considers Canada as its 51st state, and the Canadian PM as a governor of a US state. It’s understandable this fear, bordering a wacked out unstable country led by a lunatic who thinks he’s a God (he posted pictures of himself as Jesus), threatening and destabilizing the entire world.
