"Is there really a factual foundation for what she says? I would say no. I recall seeing an interview she had with a Canadian Journalist where she was adamant that Canada had been a big help to America in Vietnam, including sending large amount of troops. In actuallity, unless you count the 240 troops sent to monitor the cease fire, Canada sent no troops. They just sold us stuff to help in our war effort."

Welcome to the Canadian Vietnam Veterans Memorial Home Page

From the site: "Since 1959 when the United states officially entered the Vietnam war approximately 40,000 Canadians voluntarily joined and served beside their brothers and sisters from the United States in all branches of the U.S. armed forces. Who can explain as to why they volunteered to serve in Vietnam. Perhaps it was because they believed in the right to choose, the right to liberty, the right of unrestrictiveness and privilege. Maybe they believed in Freedom and chose to fight for it. Sometimes we take what we have for granted, for those of us who enjoy freedom on an every day basis, we have those who fought for it to thank."

You are a newbie here. Educate yourself before making obnoxiously ignorant posts as this mendacious CBC interview.

"Canadians voluntarily joined and served beside their brothers and sisters from the United States in all branches of the U.S. armed forces."

Canada didn't send troops, people in Canada left Canada to come to the US and serve the US military. Canada itself did not commit troops.
