Old Sarge, whatever you think about our politicians probably is a mere shadow of what I think of them, but our soldiers and seamen don't deserve your cheap shots.My dear Clive:
Your recitation of Canadian military history is indeed impressive and inspiring. The alumni of the Dominion's Military have truly done great and noble things.
But as my Sergeant-Major admonishes us, "What have you done TODAY?" Yes, the Canadians were, and are, in the Rockbox and at sea. But they are NOT part of the Coalition.
The official policy of your government was to join the international Socialist backlash against MY President's efforts to keep my fellow citizens free and safe. Your government chose to join the ranks of Leftists worldwide in denouncing and reviling the mightiest and free-est nation on Earth - and by extension, me.
It is the opinion of this soldier, who is now into his second war with soldiers so young that they could've been his biological children, that the Canuckistani government have done something far worse than side against America in battle - they have stood idly by, hands in their trousers, while America, once again, shoulders the burden of the honorable fight. I fear that this will be America's mission, for time and eternity, as long as good men choose to do nothing and allow evil to succeed.

Of all our "allies" that chose to join those ranks, Canada hurt the worst.

I think of those brave souls from Cananda.
I think of they, and those to the South who gave their all.
I think that is times likes this that we should bow our heads in silent pause.

"Dear Lord,
Lest I continue
My complacent way
Help me remember
Somewhere out there
A man died for me today
--As long as there be war
I then must
Ask and answer
Am I worth dying for?"
