Canada's defense minister has apologized in Parliament for claiming to have been the "architect" of the country's largest battle in Afghanistan. The battle involving Canada's Operation Medusa was planned and executed in 2006 by then-Maj. Gen. David Fraser, who was responsible for all NATO forces in southern Afghanistan. At the time of the operation, Sajjan was a major in Afghanistan, a much lower rank. Interim Conservative opposition leader Rona Ambrose criticized Sajjan's initial comment as "stolen valor" and asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to dismiss him. Trudeau says Sajjan has acknowledged the mistake and continues to have his full confidence.
