America's 'true courage... and daring to take action' is best seen in the over one million Southeast Asians and  scores of thousands of US soldier killed in the Viet Nam war... the rise of ISIS and revival of the Taliban after the US fake-war in Iraq in 2003.  

Andrew Ellis seems to demand that the Canadian government do everything possible to protect our citizens abroad no matter the circumstances. Canada is not the Roman Empire nor the American hegemony.  Nor should we be.

 True courage in America might be preventing violence instead of government captive to the Masters of War such as the military-industrial complex and the N.R.A.
