I served in the Canadian Armed services in my younger days. The Royal Canadian Armered Corp (105mm British Centurions) and have always voted Conservative and would be so far right of you that it would make your head spin.
And even at my age (I'm retired now) would fight and die fighting for this country and that means anyone.
And it's laughable that there are so many comments about the Canadian armed forces when the U.S. Armed forces is in such a pathetic state now.
Who's afraid of the Americans any more? No one. The Iranian President can threaten Isreal with being wiped of the map because he has nothing to fear.
The Yanks can barely old off a relatively disorganized bunch of thugs in Iraq and Iran knows it has nothing to fear. The U.S. will NEVER invade Iran - because it can't.
Iran would not blink at losing a million men( as it did in the war with Iraq). America has lost its stomach to take losses..
If you think anyone outside of the U.S. has been impressed with the U.S. military during the past 4 years, you're smoking some good dope, my friend..
Sorry, but the torch of military superpower is being passed to China. I really wish I were wrong and the U.S. was the U.S. of old (e.g. the Reagan 80's), but facts are facts.
Gentlemen, we must apologize to Canadian militarymen. They are a fine army, but poorly equipped and supported by their government. I know2 military people and they have a healthy respect for the Canadian military forces.
It is their GOVERNMENT'S policies that is our enemy, not their military at this point.
There is no advantag in beating up the Canadian military.
...Of course, the REST of their country IS a joke!!
