How are you going to feel if Candian troops are tasked with removing weapons from your homes up there, because U.S. troops were considered reluctant to do so?

I think you’re wrong on this one Mark. And if that doesn’t convince you, then consider the next move, when federales are given the same status in a year or two.

I see your point and I was just being a little silly with the target practice quip. I do recall them not screwing around with some indians at a road block.

My real point is that we should be able to use our strengths to help our neighbors during a real crisis, not getting drug into political bs. We should handle our own riots. Any Canadians (or American troops) helping after a Katrina type incident should know that disarming citizens is an illegal order.

WHAT Canadian troops?? There are just 64,000 active duty members of the Canadian armed forces and 27,500 in their operational reserves. That's total military, not just the Army. With an annual budget of less than $15 billion (canadian), I don't think they're much of a threat to US liberties ... if anything, this is to allow us to help THEM.
