I have always had a fond spot for the Canadians. I fought beside some of their Common Wealth Division Units in Korea and when they were on my flank, I knew it was secure, not the case with some other units. I hope this chatter of negative nature soon leads to the end of such. Both Nations have too much involved in each other for pettiness.
As a Michigan resident Canadians are close neighbors of mine. They have a vast flyover country with urbanites on the ends who think of themselves as better than the ignernt rednecks in between.
It is kind of refreshing to see an article that suggests to Canadians that they really aren't so different than we are nor are they better.
Apparently, Canadians also have a big problem with each other, they almost voted twice the past decade to split up their country, and both votes were razor thin.
This is a fact that is no longer even mentioned in their press, but the east French Canadians seem to dislike everybody but their own.
How Canada has changed can be seen in the way they have treated their armed service, who have been reduced from a proud force to an ignoble state.
Americans think this is something that just popped up recently, but believe me, it's been building for years. The same with the europeans.
Our media just hides it when a lib is in the WH.
I'm just asking because I've heard about this before-in fact, one of my history professors was Canadian and discussed this when we covered that era-but I have never been able to get any specifics on the matter.
I know that there were individuals from many countries, including Mexico, The Phillipines, Australia, etc., that fought on our side during the Vietnam War, but I don't know of any non-Vietnamese units that fought with us in the South during the course of the war.
That was a different Canada. It is long gone now.
