They are still sacrificing lives for us(which even our own country shouldnt be doing) so there is no room to make fun of them, we are the douchbags not them.While I do not agree with the intentional attempt at humor that was in the FOX piece Canada is not exactly a military powerhouse. It ranks 15th in the world right between Mexico and Iran and is lower ranked than India, Germany, Japan, Turkey, Brazil, the U.K. Italy, South Korea, Indonesia and if you can imagine it Canada even ranks lower than France. The local Girl Scout Troop is more of a military powerhouse than France is and it would be much more dependable in a fight too. Also you can add the real powers in the world to the very top of that list, the U.S., Russia and China.
So while I do not care for how Canada was used as a joke it cannot be overlooked that Canada is not exactly in the upper tiers of military strength in the world.
I know that..even the rt members here are good folk...Just know that not all of us feel like those Fox news jerks.
You know why we didn't build a huge military.. because until we decided to help the US we were peace keepers and had no enemies...While I do not agree with the intentional attempt at humor that was in the FOX piece Canada is not exactly a military powerhouse.

For one stop insulting the french, secondly of course canada does not have a large military. We are peace keepers, not invaders. Also look at our population, isnt exactly that large.While I do not agree with the intentional attempt at humor that was in the FOX piece Canada is not exactly a military powerhouse.

I don't know what the hell your talking about, our fallen troops are praised and will never be forgotten. We have +4k troops dead in this war and this country is well aware. You don't know what your talking about.The US talks a big game about pride then hide their dead....
Jesus christ i go out of my way to support the Canadian military, Than you return the favor by insulting the U.S military saying its filled with the "dregs of humanity" nice thanks alot.or why else would the US be taking criminals and the dregs of humanity to fill their ranks....
You do not show any flag draped coffin at all on the news.. Bush stopped that..... They're brought in in the dark of night... show me a pic of people honoring the dead along any route..I don't know what the hell your talking about, our fallen troops are praised and will never be forgotten.

Actually the US has been accepting people with criminal records, and know gang members... a practice that was frowned upon in the past.. but because recruitment numbers weren't what they needed they dropped the standard.....Jesus christ i go out of my way to support the Canadian military, Than you return the favor by insulting the U.S military saying its filled with the "dregs of humanity" nice thanks alot.
You cry about the fox news insulting the Canadian military.......and than you do the same thing

Bush stopped that..... They're brought in in the dark of night... show me a pic of people honoring the dead along any route..

In the past if you were young and you went to court like in the 50's 60's the judge would give you a choice go into the service or go to jail, alot guys joined up and military turned there lives around man. They stopped doing that in the 80's and 90's and still don't do that, I actually think they should bring that back for option for people who fuck up for the first time. What they do now is the military can give you a waiver for past behavior, whether its drug use or criminal. You act like they are letting in rapists and murderers. The only let minor offenses in, like high school kid gets into a fight at the movies and is arrested, Do you think that kid should be barred from service?Actually the US has been accepting people with criminal records, and know gang members... a practice that was frowned upon in the past.. but because recruitment numbers weren't what they needed they dropped the standard.....
