Hey fuck you asshole.
I was giving a salute to anyone who served.

[Will.]

Yeah but its never the Canadian Storm troopers, its always the marines or army...

[tagnostic]

the beer

what a stupid Douchebag thing to say :(

BTW Canada kills with the best of them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRgsjvDtFUc

show a little respect for those that protect your freedom to act like a ginormous jack ass

America's involvment in WWII was minimal, and only had support when their lifesyle was threatened by a failing economy.
Canada was in it from sq 1.

[tagnostic]

minimal?
don't get
carried
away

casualty's by country (http://www.world-war-2.info/casualties/)
financial cost by country (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWWcosts.htm)

[gman]

ya but they fought two years earlier... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_Canada_during_the_Second_World_War

and the cost in your link is dated 1914??

[tagnostic]

you are correct
but it is in "1914-1918"
dollars to give it a baseline value
to avoid counting some of the hyper inflation
in alot of countries at the time

wikipedia is not a valid source
but your point is taken because
Canada was still a part of the British Empire
at the time and still recognizes the Queen as Soveriegn
therefore they were technically involved in 1937

[gman]

ahhh that makes sense (re1914)
and this isn't a debate
or even a argument
so wiki is a perfectly acceptable and valid source
for information
about the contribution Canada made to freedom
and its use doesn't detract from the idea
that solders from any country should get respect ;)

[rzm61]

wikipedia is not a valid source


Please stop with this BS.
We're not writing research papers here.

It is a good resource....just check it's sources.

[tagnostic]

i will take it
to another
thread as
to why
its not

and gman is quite correct
as to what its about

[rzm61]

Ugh, this wikipedia debate is pointless.

[tagnostic]

quitter
:icon_lol:

[rzm61]

You're just too stubborn.

[tagnostic]

thats
a fact
