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.

DO NOT CONFUSE political pressures and our armed forces abilities. The United States Armed Services are second to none in the world. Our politicians are what holds us back. As compared to Canada where your society holds back the effectiveness of the armed forces. Japan has learned - when will you?AWB

Once again you believe American opinion is broadcast by the major media...The media has its own agenda that it is trying to push on American society... If we really had lost our stomach for war loses you would see protests in the street everyday... you don't... the antiwar/socialist crowd has to combine all its protesters from all its different causes to get even 1000 people out in the streets...

As for Iran that remains to be seen... I doubt we will get the chance to invade... the Brits are already beating that war drum, but if asked I am sure we will follow them in and yes the American public will support... We understand that this is a war against western civilization.. the MSM does not... were you get off saying we can barely hold off a bunch of thugs in Iraq is beyond me... we have taken the country from dictatorship to constitution in 2 years... I would say that that qualifies as a success.

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!!
