I'm not trying to pound on a man (or lady, as the case may be) when he is down, but NATO was founded in 1949, or thereabouts.

Point being?

What's 1949, the Pleistocene? What I said was, Canada once was a big contributor to NATO, plugging a lot of gaps that the Bundeswehr and Luftwaffe would fill when they were finally stood up several years later. The author of the article at the head of this thread said Canada's contribution was "never large." Not so.

Fifty six years, two to three generations ago, is a long time.
