And I’ll say it again, Canadian military is a bunch of puzzies This was my best friend Howard S. Hicken a Canadian Captain Bomber Pilot. He died 2 years ago at 101 years. In WWII he Flew a Halifax and Lancaster's for the RCA, he won the Distinguished Flying Cross after flying 32 missions over Germany in the deadliest bombing runs in Aviation History. After That he flew Spitfires for the RAF, then after he finished his tour with the RAF he signed up with the United States Airforce to fly bombing runs over Japan. He was accepted and was about to leave when Truman Nuked them and ended the war. By the way, your famous crew that flew the "Memphis Bell" only flew 25 missions vs. my friends Howard's 32. Canadians are pussies? News to me Muchacho! He is the tall guy in the middle with his crew and with his airplane with his squadron. 2nd Picture of the coward at 100 with his wife Ethel ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/D0RQfgvh.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/YrCVSOah.jpg)

The Canadian military do more with less than just about any other military in the world.
Canadians, when in wargames against other NATO countries, including the US, it is not uncommon that the Canadians win the excerise. From pilots flying 1980 vintage legacy F18 Hornets, to several of the top 10 longest sniper kills, to infantry winning the exercise. No, they on't win ALL the time, but given the disparity in the equipment, it is surprising the Canadians win at all.
I saw on the news tonight that NATO countries, including Canada, agreed to spend 2% of the GDP on their militaries. Canada currently at 1.29%. The Liberals will NEVER spend to 2%. Nor will the NDP, if they ever win. I doubt the Conservatives will. Our economy has been so ravaged by the Trudeau Liberals, the Conservatives will have to spend money elsewhere to keep the nation solvent. The military loses again.

My next door neighbor and my best friend growing up came from a military serving family. His grandfather recieved the military cross in ww1. Fought in the trenches and IIRC was gassed. His uncle flew in the Battle of Britain, was a pilot for Air Canada after.
Canadian troops had a fearsome reputation in ww1, at least according to the Germans. They were considered savages and ruthless.
My grandfather was Knighted for services rendered to the Crown in WW2 for his role in the Pacific against the Japanese.
The lefts indoctrination of the USA was test marketed in Canada in the 70s. Remember all the commie American draft dodging, pot smoking, folk singing hippies from the 6os? Where do you think the went? Canada.

Fuggin Canadian military is a bunch of puzzies. 3/4 of the NATO member nations are puzzies. Why, because we foot the fuggin bill whilst they spend their money on other chit.
I’m a nationalist like Trump and Putin !
My body is riddled with scars and missing parts, many have died for these fuggin panty waste !
Tired of shedding blood for fucgks !

My grandfather was in both world wars, 1 and 2.
He wasn't much for standing behind big brother for protection, but I feel our subverted government has put us in an embarrassing position.

Canadian Soldiers fought their asses off in Kandahar, they weren’t afraid to exchange steel with bad guys at all.
I fought along side them on a few occasions, and I credit them with covering my teams ass multiple times.

Rogue;
Morning to you sir, I hope that the day down in your part of the world is unfolding with as little drama as it is up here and that you're well.
Thanks both for your service and for the kind words directed to my fellow Canadians.
If I'm not remembering wrong, there was a poster here years back who stated something similar. In that case I want to say he'd named the PPCLI - Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry which would have either been out of Edmonton or Shilo, depending which battalion.
All the best and thanks once more sir.
Dwayne

I know many very tough Canadians that never were afraid to fight, including myself. I personally would never doubt the toughness and courage of our neighbors south of the border! Thank you for your service Rogue

Canadian soldiers can be a force… Their government not so much… According to the article Canadians are free loaders to their NATO commitments, but so are others. https://www.wsj.com/articles/canada...tVariant=cx_160&cx_artPos=3#cxrecs_s
When people face the possibility of freezing or starving there is little chance they are going to listen to unfounded claims of climate doomsday from a bunch of ultra-rich yacht sailing private jet-setting carbon-spewing hypocrite elites

Did Canada ever have a draft board system? There are lots of reasons - again in my view - some of which were budgetary for sure and some were pressure from the US and Britain to take certain courses of action like NATO, NORAD instead of the Avro Arrow jets among others. Dwayne Those were special aircraft! Should have been mass produced.

This conversation is a perfect example of of a no-nothing attempting to belittle others in order to feel bigger himself.
The Canadian military does a good job with the table scraps they are given by their government. They are an excellent ally and my experience with them, while limited, was always positive. They are good people who still have the values that used to mainstream in this country just 20 years ago.
Their government and our current government are atrocities in expensive suits. The PEOPLE of both countries are for the most part good and decent people.
Stop [bleep] on our neighbor and ally, and maybe try to learn more about them before spouting off.

Blame the Liberals, with help from PQ and NDP morons, for the state of Canada's armed forces. But every Canadian military I've ever met has been stiff.

Did Canada ever have a draft board system? 2ndwind; Good evening to you sir, I hope your part of the world had a decent day and you're well. There was conscription during WWII, which began in 1942 but was a political football in that 80% of Canada outside Quebec was in favor of it, but 72% of Quebec was against it. In the end there were something like 12,000 men conscripted and about 2,400 of those saw overseas service. There were 1.1 million Canadians who served directly in that conflict, out of a total population of 12 million so a reasonably high per capita participation. As for the video and of course this is only one Canuck's opinion, but I believe they understated some of the topics covered, missed some and some I'm not sure I can agree with their conclusions. At the end of WWII we had either the 3rd or 4th largest navy - depending upon whose numbers one wants to take. The RCAF was smaller, but still was equipped with up to date planes, etc. Why did it shrink to where it's at today? There are lots of reasons - again in my view - some of which were budgetary for sure and some were pressure from the US and Britain to take certain courses of action like NATO, NORAD instead of the Avro Arrow jets among others. It's a huge topic and there's no simple answer to undoing what's been happening for a long time but our involvement in Afghanistan did change public perception of the military to a positive one. That said, the bought and paid for Canadian legacy media were on board with that and that's a not insignificant part of the issue here. Anyways, there's a couple thoughts from a semi-old guy who tries to pay attention to such details. All the best. Dwayne I appreciated your answer. Thanks

Trudeau wants to destroy whats left of our military. He's trying to starve it out. He's afraid it will revolt when Canadians eventually pull their heads out of their asses and begin to realize his treasonous ambitions. He is a communist just like his father. Thinking pretty much 99.9% of military members would have no regrets putting a bullet in his brain if the order came down.

Canada's problems mirror those of our own. Namely, that their government is currently run by a would-be socialist tyrant.
Canada is huge, and it needs a decent military to defend itself. It has no hostile neighbor to threaten invasion, but in today's world, that's pretty much moot.
It won't happen, but if Canada would dissolve and become part of the US, there'd be no other nation of group of nations that could beat us in any way, either economically or militarily. We'd be the largest nation on earth with the most natural resources, with only the border of Mexico to seal off from land invasion.
(And we could tell the French idiots in Quebec to go back to the mother country.) The US of A should control everything from the border of Columbia, South America to the north pole. Without the US of A, central America and Canada wouldn't exist. The current USA government should not control chit. Beat me to it . Look at the job we are doing of controlling anything here but school board meetings. I dearly love my country, but deeply despise it’s government. In the past, I'd talk to folks from countries not necessarily friendly to US. Of course I'd go where I shouldn't, and ask about politics and such. To a man, they would claim their countrymen "Like America, but not its government". A good Brainwashed American my mind screamed BULLSHITE! Of the People By the People For the People! "We are the government. Right?" Unfortunately. I know understand that sentiment.
