"What's infantry?"
Part of the Combat Arms branch that specializes in combat and peacekeeping operations worldwide, among other things.

The role of the infantry is to close with and destroy the enemy -- I can't imagine specializing in peacekeeping operations.

Peacekeeping is a specific mission that was something we were good at - but gone the way of the dodo. A good part of our media and populace still beleive that is all we do.

I think our skill in Peacekeeping was coming from our Canadian culture and values, and how highly trained our troops were for it. Just like humanitarian missions. I don't think most units train for it (save DART), but we're damn good at it when we send troops on the ground. I agree that Peacekeeping in its traditional sense is dead, it will be at the very minimum "peace making" in the future.
