"Whether or not one supports the battles in which they fought, the soldiers were doing what they were asked to do .......and all Canadians need to get behind them."

Too late. 

The worst case is the soldiers who realize that they are in a hopeless, immoral war. Imagine the thoughts of the US troops going into Vietnam, which was a weak defenseless country. And as the violent treatment of Vietnam villagers came out how immoral.

So soldiers going in to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria have that behind them. Immoral and hopeless fighting, time after time. 

And the Canadian  soldiers going in to Afghanistan had that history plus the fact that Canada has no interests in Afghanistan. What were they fighting for?

Canadians need to support their military by questioning the fighting they are being asked to do. Right now making it clear to PM Trudeau and cabinet that we do not want our troops involved in the Middle East area or in any area unless Canadian  interests are threatened.
