Where are the Canadians on Youtube?

[curious george]

Youtube has endless videos posted re: combat medics (US). Why do you see and hear so little about Canadian med techs and nursing officers in Afghanistan?  It makes me believe they're not even there!  I'd love to find out what they're doing and how they're making a difference.

I thought about two possibilities: 1) Canadians don't flaunt their stuff, but deep down they're very proud of what they do, and 2) posting on Youtube breaches sensitive military information and patient confidentiality.  I noticed random clips of patients' faces on Youtube during medic work.  I doubt that every one of those patients gave their consent!

I'm really perplexed at the monstrous volume of American military Youtube videos and the quiet as a mouse Canadians.
It's such a peculiar phenomenon.  Maybe it's just a cultural difference.

A third possibility may have something to do with the higher number of American casualties:

2) posting on Youtube breaches sensitive military information and patient confidentiality.  I noticed random clips of patients' faces on Youtube during medic work.  I doubt that every one of those patients gave their consent!

We have a topic regarding that. Topic: "Image of Wounded Canadian Soldier"

From the ( U.S. ) Army Times: “Names, video, identifiable written/oral descriptions or identifiable photographs of wounded service members will not be released without the service member’s prior written consent.”:
