Yes, you did. What happened was a company of Canadians were doing target practice at a training range just ouside of Kandahar. An American plane flew over, and thought they were Taliban fighters. The pilot, despite a direct order from ground control in Kandahar, dropped the bomb into the middle of the well-known, well-marked trainning field, killing four Canadian paratroopers and wounding eight.

I don't know, CADPAT was created back in the mid to late 1990's, but they only started issuing it to soldiers recently. I have pics of Canadian soldiers in Bosnia in about 1997 or 1998 with CADPAT helmet covers.

CADPAT C7's (Canadian version of the M16 for everyone who doesn't know what a C7 is)?!?!?!? That's taking it a little too far. But you have to admit, it's a very effective camo pattern.
