My father was a Canadian citizen who joined the US Navy during WWII. I asked him why he didn't join the Canadian Army. His response was, that would be like committing suicide. I didn't entirely understand what he meant until I read the mortality rate of the Canadian forces. It was the highest of any allied army in WWII.

My Canadian uncle had my cousin register with the US Selective service as soon
as he arrived in Oklahoma for college...basically for the same reason.

Canadians suffered more casualties during WWII than Americans did, but largely because they were in the war from the beginning when the Allies were at a great disadvantage. The sacrifice made by the Canadians during WWII should not be forgotten or under appreciated by Americans. At the end of WWII Canada had the 3rd largest armed forces in the world. Their neglection of their duty since is a shame.

It wasn't just the Canadian Army...the Royal Canadian Air Force, integrated into the RAF, found many of its pilots assigned to Bomber Commander, led by Sir Arthur Harris. If you check the statistics, you'll find that Canadians bore a disproportinate share of Bomber Command's appalling casualties.
