Canada's got my respect. They did get the longest confirmed kill, even if it was with an American weapon. :smug:

Fucking bleeding-hearts. They really charged him for using a fifty? I thought it was for something else.

Far as I know, yeah. Him and the other buddy that was with him. American's go FUCK YEAH, then Army says FUCK OFF.

Holy Hell, this is the truest thing I've ever read.
Does anyone know if the Canadian military is still planning on buying a bunch of Tavor-21's?
Those are fucking sweet rifles.
While we're on the topic of guns, I hear British Special forces favor the C8 rifle over almost everything else.

That wouldn't surprise me. (though the french canadians are total fucking pussies and ran away from conscription) Have you ever read about Juno beach? Americans talk a lot about the hell hole Omaha was, but there's a big difference: what happened at Omaha was a mistake. What happened at Juno... well, the Canadians knew exactly what they were getting into and went anyway. At the worst points, the sea walls were twice as high on Juno as they were at any point on the Omaha stretch.
Canadian soldiers willingly put themselves into some crazy situations. Whether they're suicidal or just really fucking pissed off, I'm not sure.

We're just all like "Fuck it, let's fucking do it." and we tell the fear to shut the fuck up until we're done doing what we have to do. That, and the beer. It's all in Canadian beer.
To all of the people doubting Canada's involvement and military awesome-ness, read:
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vimy_Ridge[/url]
We, with a small ass squadron, took on three fucking German divisions and won, whilst other countries with a far "superior" military force who attempted before us failed hardcore.
How about the Dieppe Raid.
A suicide mission to gather information as to how the Allies should form the D Day offensive.

I'm convinced that if there was ever a third world war, Canada would kick some major ass. We seem to do good in those.
our army is fantastically well trained but it's just not very large at all, hardly surprising given our population

Theres what they did at Dieppe too. That was a suicide run.

I respect all the men who served during ww2 but you make it sound as though the Canadians just went rip assing onto Juno because they were some crazy mother fuckers. They Canadians like all the other Allied Military forces invaded because the Allied high command saw it fit. They were no more "suicidal" or "fucking pissed off" then any other Allied force that participated in D Day.
Canadians are like the Irish when the Irish are sober
Ugh great, another Canadian thread
who cares.

That can't be right. Seriously, 19 pressups is a passgrade? :/ - Unless after recruitment the progressive training is like a wall. Still though, love you canadians, excelent people and fighters!
i think it was pretty cool what winston churchill said once, never forget the bond the english people share, and pretty much canada, america, and england always help eachother militarilly

That's for the Forces in general, since air force, navy, and army go through the same shit. By the end of basic you can end up doing 60-70ish push ups. Basically it's to keep the fat fat fat fucks out.

Except we're drunk all of the time.
If we were sober we'd be running the world right now.
What the average American doesn't understand is that there is a LOT more than the typical Anglo-American forces (British, Australian, American, Canadian) in Afghanistan. Tons of other countries are helping out in their own way. Every NATO country has contributed, and non-NATO countries have contributed as well. Since no one here has mentioned Germany or France, the two other big military powers of Europe, let me add that those two countries (yes, even the French) have done their fair share of fighting in Afghanistan.
Actually, come to think of it, French and American troops have worked closely together, despite the stereotype that Americans and French people hate each other. The common people of both countries might, but on the battlefield it's a completely different story.
I like the Canadian better, American forces are a little too much meatshield for my taste.
