The Canadians like their G-Wagons. I was talking to a Canadian Sergeant at the Wash Rack the other day and he claims G-Wagons are better than M1114's.

Do the Liberals that are ruining Canada know that they have Canadian troops that are fighting terrorists?

In Afghanistan, of course... didn't you? Yes we did, (And thanks to the brave canuks doing the work). We were just concerned the liberals in Canada would find out and put a stop to it.

Ahh, like Pelosi, Dean & Kerry? You want to judge the Canadians because they have a few f**king idiots like we do that happened to blow or buy their way in to office?

Ahh, forgot, how about Ed Kennedy? What the heck is that souse still doing in office? Wasn't that at least second-degree murder?
Canada is a free country, just as we are. We have no more right to tell them how they should think than they do to tell us our minds.
Look up "democracy"... it doesn't say "agrees with Americans"...
Something we best all get used too...

Do the Liberals that are ruining Canada know that they have Canadian troops that are fighting terrorists? Hmmmmm... so they are free to disagree with us but we are not free to call them idiots when they do? Are they not more free to have political idiots than we are? Pelosi alone trumps all the Canadian critics I've seen so far, and Boxer... why go there? They have their idiots, we have ours... we have more in common as a people with the Canadians than with any other in the world. Just because they have the same defective picker when it comes to their politicians is no reason to trash them. Canadians didn't elect Dean, for a start...

Thanks for the ping. The G Wagons do look like a very good move. In the following shot, note how the cabin appears to be intact. Unfortuneately, they are not indestructable. However, they certainly improve the survivability of our soldiers.

Wasn't that at least second-degree murder? Making a plan to eliminate your pregnant girlfriend, then carrying out the plan is 1st degree.
In MA though I doubt even a conviction would have caused him to lose an election.
