does it ****ing matter what country you call home?

any serviceman canadian, american, german, african from any branch, navy, army, airforce gets nothing but respect from me for what they do or have done for my or their country.

canadian jokes? fine, i dont give a ****. but dont come in here making fun of canadian soldiers or saying direct insults to canadians in general.

we have served the world just fine in almost every single major conflict and continue to support our allies for the most part.

if we have 300 million people in our country, as the US does, we would be just as powerful and have just as strong an army.

I beg to differ. Americas Military history and our pride in our armed forces is part of the reason our military is and has stayed so strong. It doesnt matter how many people your country has, it's the trainin and experience that counts.

Dont take this as me bashing on the Canadians, because im not going to have any part in that.

[DEATHx2]

per soldier, canadian soldiers are trained better.

Annual U.S. Military expenditure = $583,283,000,000

Annual Canadian Military expenditure = $18,695,342,000

wow, I see 18 year olds as little kids still, but 16 is just to young. the germans had a group of kids that they started training to take over the fight after the first generation died. they were called Hitler youth. i'm just shocked that thats even and option.

How would you actually know that? To be honest I doubt it too, but you don't actually know this for a fact.

Your Defense budget is a drop in the bucket compared to ours, and I worked with Canadians in Iraq. I've also done field Ops with them You fail.

[j-easy]

one team, one fight

[MadPSIence]

Pretty sure Canada's JTF2 is so bad-*** that America wanted us in Iraq.

Our Airborne was more bad-*** than any American sector, ever. Breed the KGB with the Triads and you might get something close in terms of who to avoid in a fight.

The Canadian Forces are few but we're well looked after. I grew up 3 minutes from the largest Air Force base in Canada, pretty sweet.

[NS RecPaintball]

Keep it clean guys. Aren't we all on the same side?

Can't CADPAT and ACU fight together?

[LED is 6 BPS faster]

I've worked with Canadian SOF dudes and have met those in charge of developing a school house to produce something similar to us SF dudes. They were really cool and could definitely take a beating. As for the rest of the Army, its just like any conventional force.
