Some folks might correctly wonder why it is that Canada can't simply generate the extra 1000 bodies seemly needed in Kandahar province, but keep in mind that the Army must also perform a wide variety of additional tasks (domestic operations, training, headquarters etc) and that these require troops to be available to the government and not deployed. I am sure that you are aware of the above, but I think it helps to lay it out.
