General Rick Hillier Resigns. Leaves Big Void In Military

General Rick Hillier is Canada's answer to General David Petreaus.

A man who firmly believes in Canada's mission in Afghanistan, he served Canada heroically and honourably - and with personality. He reintroduced the military to Canadians and made us realize that there is nothing wrong in supporting this institution. We went from a "we don't need the military" mentality throughout the 1990s to one where we have come to understand its importance again.

Defence analyst David Bercuson says don't expect another Hillier any time soon.
