Quote by: ladiesman217 We were never attacked by Germany pal and don't act like we didn't support the Allies before Pearl Harbor; we built tanks and weapons for them, so much so that it brought us out of the Great Depression.

Of course... see... you gave them 2nd rate tanks which didn't hold up to the Panzers too well for your own profit and binifit..... and then you got attacks and then you figured it was in your best interest now to fight.

And I don't understand your point about us fighting wars for our best interests because that is the only reason any country would go to war anyway and it is also invalid because we have fought wars before for no other benefit then helping out an oppressed people (i.e. Vietnam).

Oh PA-Leaasssee!!! Helping oppressed people in Vietnam? now you're trying to play a card out of my hand, and using a poor example to back it up? Everything would have been fine there if you guys didn't fabricate the whole start of the ward and then invade,

What the hell has Canada ever done that is so great and noble? You need to get off your high horse and point your finger somewhere else for a change.

Canadian Forces - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here check out operations for starters... get some education. Perhaps if you actually listened or pulled your head out of your country's arse and looked at what has happened in other countries in the world, and who was there to help them in their time of need, you might see that we were there most of the time.

The Canadian Forces or its component regiments have served operationally in the War of 1812, the Fenian Raids (1866-1871), North-West Rebellion (1885), the Second Boer War (1899-1902), the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, the First Gulf War, the Kosovo war (1999), and have contributed to UN and other peacekeeping missions and undeclared wars, notably the Suez Crisis, Golan Heights, Cyprus, Croatia, Bosnia, and Afghanistan. Canada is a charter member of NATO and a member of the North American Air Defence treaty (NORAD). Battles which are particularly notable to the Canadian military include the Battle of Vimy Ridge in the First World War and, in the Second World War, the Dieppe Raid, the Battle of Ortona, the Normandy Landings, the Battle for Caen, the Battle of the Scheldt, the Battle of Britain, the Battle of the Atlantic, and the strategic bombing of German cities. The Canadian forces operated under overall British command in all these battles. At the end of the Second World War, areas of the Netherlands north of the rivers Rhine and Lek were liberated from the Nazi-German occupying forces almost solely by Canadian formations. After restoring law and order they left the countries within several months. Since 1947, the CF has participated in more than 200 operations worldwide and has completed 72 international operations.[citation needed] More than 3,000 Canadian soldiers, sailors and Air Force personnel are deployed overseas on operational missions in 11 additional operations including the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and the NATO stabilization force (SFOR) in Bosnia-Herzegovina. On any given day, about 8,000 Canadian Forces members - one third of the deployable force - are preparing for, engaged in or returning from an overseas mission. Canadian regular and reserve troops are a visible and respected force at home as well. In 2001 alone, the Canadian Forces responded to more than 8,000 search-and-rescue incidents and helped to save more than 4,500 lives.

Ignorance sucks doesn't it?

I also find it ironic that you would employ the same strategy that is being used in Iraq considering how well it is working over there. We have played the insurgent game before and won and we will do it again if we had to.

Employ the same tactic in a different enviroment, yes... it would work..... but also it doesn't help when your military and those leading it are ignorant of the people and their country..... that's the begining of the hatred right there.
