Trooper Karine Blais, 21 years of age, of Les Méchins, Quebec was killed and four other soldiers were injured when their armored vehicle struck a roadside bomb north of Kandahar City in the Shah Wali Kowt District. She had only been on the ground in Kandahar for two weeks. It was her first overseas tour of duty since enlisting in 2006.

Blais was assigned to 12e Régiment Blindé du Canada (12th Armoured Regiment of Canada) based at Valcartier, Québec. She was serving with the 2nd Battalion, Royal 22e Régiment Battle Group deployed with the Canadian contingent of NATO forces in Afghanistan.

  • Don't forget that remembrance day is coming up. That would be rather ironic/

  • why is it that when women soldiers die, they give it more of a fuss...is a woman's life more valuable than a man's life? really? RIP to ALLL the canadian soldiers who fought and died for this country.

  • @ManabeRokuro Doesn't matter what's between her legs as long as she puts bullets between their eyes.

  • RIP fellow soldier, you will always be remembered.

    From an retired female Australian soldier (Sgt medic).

  • You People on here make me fucking sick. You all have the balls to sit here on your coms and talk shit about people who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Talk to that girls mother, father or brother, I'm damn sure there proud of their little girl and what she has done. I did read some good posts from people with some pride and dignity and respect for those comrades who have fallen. Stop taking for freedoms for such granted they come at a hefty price ! To soilders abroad Thanks

  • A good occupying soldier is a dead occupying soldier.

  • @AllstarCanadian strange how you know who i know! i have 2 cousins that are in the Canadian armed forces in fact! strange how you thought i didnt!

  • @thatboytrent And you know through your experience in the army? Or not... because you don't have any and you don't know anyone who is in the army.

  • @poopnscoop432 Be real now. There's a better chance to get raped by your fellow male soldier than to run into harms way via enemy. Even women want to be naive and put themselves in this nasty profession, be prepared for the worst.

    Type in "Rapes of women in military 'a national disgrace" in google.
