1) These are Royal 22nd Regiment Infanteers "Van Doos" CANADIANS
2) This is on a Rocket Range in CANADA not Afghanistan
3) The Eryx Missile is a product of FRANCE and is used by Canada and other NATO nations. The Eryx is a very effective anti-tank weapon but just like every other weapon system out there such as TOW or Javelin, you will get Duds or misfires at one time or another.
You cannot criticize the soldiers for a weapon failing nor even the Factory. It's just a fact of life.

omg it's so farrrrr away!

well it's like people forgetting to pull the handbrake when before they back away from their garage.
Though it is plausible that the weapon malfunctioned and I just didn't catch it when I posted. As you see, the missile should have launched at least a few meters away before it fires its 'thrusters', but this missile fell out like you see in comedy skits,
Shit happens to everybody. lol

Not to be a dick here, and I'm being serious when I say that, but assuming that this weapon didn't malfunction don't you think it's a problem that they forgot to arm it?

I wonder if French-made pistols occasionally have the bullets fall to the ground a few inches out of the gun barrel.

Oh, before I forget, that shit is made in France, we just buy them.
I think we are better equipped individually than the Americans, even though our vehicles are not as good, we are taking less casualties in Afghanistan than the Americans, Oh right, the AMERICANS are not in Kandahar are they? The most volatile region in the country.

What mr Lee3nfi3ld saying is right. Canadians spend 13 weeks in BMQ (Boot camp for you American smart fellows)and another 6 months for infantry training.
Our special operations regiment is the equivalent to the US army Rangers, but better, as it's operation capabilities are at the US special forces level.
JTF2, as good as if not better than Delta Force and the SAS.
Lastly, they failed that one probably because they forgot to arm it.
Canadian soldiers want to be soldiers. There isn't a lot of social or economic pressure to become a soldier in Canada. Americans do it to prepare for a political career, can't get a civilian job, or movies and video games make it look cool.
