We actually have really well trained soldiers, just not the funds to be a powerful military. I guess it's a good thing, we really do not need to be a powerful military and it saves me tax money.

Not trying to rub it in but how much is canadas weapons made by them? All assault riffles are made by us. Tanks by Germany or someone else. Planes us. Maybe there ships and guess who gave them plans?

The Canadian people have no need for such outrageous expenditures on their military that the Americans feel they need. Our economy itself does not rely on war, and war related industries to generate a large amount of income.

Not only that, but in the case of any country invading Canada (like America for example), the vast majority of our army is IN Canada, and due to the vast cultural mosaic of our people and Canada's good relations with the rest of the world, it wouldn't be long until the rest of the world would show up on our soil.

From what I read Canadian special forces are better the their American counterparts. They go through like 5 years of training rather then two.

Same goes with U.K. and France.

I <3 T3H BUTTSECKS · 09-09-2008, 07:47 PM

The truth.^ I don't like saying that on here because I get flamed to **** by you trigger happy Americans, but that is the truth.

What the **** is your point. We still have great soldiers...

idc what country they are from, a soldier is a soldier, plain and simple.

A lot of you guys really need to rethink what you're saying. Canada's military has been instrumental in a lot of conflicts. I've done Field Ops with the Canadian Army and they're all stand up guys and great soldiers.

and? who gives a ****? we dont base alot of our economy on war. My best friend is shipping to afganistan soon to fight in the war against terrorism. Canadians are dying there believe it or not, what was it 3 or 4 last week alone? Alot of you Americans think that Canada's military is a joke, but we are just lending a helping hand. While men die trying to fight terrorism, they are called jokes by you people? I know terrorism affects the whole world, but it hasn't happened in this county yet.

Seriously. His point didn't even have anything to do with what I said. You elitist ****, we're fighting for the same cause. Drop the ego and learn teamwork.

Or is it more relaxed like I imagine it to be?

Do we advertise the armed forces? Yes.

Are there recruitment stations in the cities? Yes.

Do we write legislation forcing any public school to give up grades, physical fitness, and personal information, and proceed to call up the most fit/smartest/poorest kids? No.

Did the US and A not give H&K (german company) billions of dollars to design a superior weapon to the M4/M16?

Ben-Oblivion · 09-09-2008, 09:16 PM

The ignorance in this thread amazes me.

Americans like to think they're the only country with a military force because that's all they can feel proud of, which is sad.

Iraq produces 2.5 million barrels a day...one of the lowest producing countries in the Middle East

compared to say Saudi Arabia that produces 12 million barrels a day, and in addition to that produces 880 million cubic feet of natural gas.

Hell the United States produces 5.6 million barrels per day!

Get your facts straight

StJimmy666 · 09-09-2008, 09:21 PM

Your figures are astounding oh google master!!!

Did GWB have the chance to obliterate the gov't in Saudi Arabia, kill the man in power (no I do NOT support Sadam or anything he did) and subsequently start up a US funded democracy while the country degenerates into a war zone? I think not

When was the last time you were in Iraq?

I spent 26 months of my life there, you call me a google master?

You're the one that's a slave to mass media, you have no idea what the situation in that country is, nor are you qualified to make and pass judgments on events and decisions that you don't have the slightest clue about.

Before you try and coach me on the dealings of the U.S. Government you spend a day in my boots.

You criticize people for passing judgment on your country, what gives you the right to criticize mine.

Here's a shout out to all my Iraqi friends in Ramadi, they sure look war torn

Me

Im glad you came back alive

Im afraid I can't say that for 3 friends from when i lived in NY who came back in caskets, and 19 others that I knew through friends. I guess they just got on the **** end of the stick as it were, I repeat what I get from infantrymen and never ever watch any american news channel, and only watch the canadian ones for weather reports

Spend a day in your boots? I think i mentioned im joining up with the reserves up here beacuse my parents would KILL me if i went into active duty, and I really want to be a social worker/teacher

I have nothing against any branch of any military (except marine recruiters, they are annoying as ****)
