I don't want this to turn into a flame war. Posted it because I thought it was funny.

fuck not htis bitch again. anyways i saw a documentary a long time ago on history channel. all i remember were these bunch of canucks in nam getting high from a shotgun. oOo:

did they have any special forces over in vietnam during the war ?

Canada did not send troops to Vietnam. However many Canadians enlisted in US Army units to go to Vietnam. I think the estimate is over 30,000 Canadians went to Vietnam.

thats cool .. i didnt know that . thanks

ed:

That's crazy! We sen't like 3900 personnel or something...and the NZSAS...

i have read where the Aussie + NZ special forces were quite good in vietnam

Oh yeah, the NZSAS/OZSAS are the shizzle....VC called them "Ghosts of the jungle."

[quote:a9b07]Many Americans believe that Canada played no part in the Vietnam War. Nothing could be further from the truth. Though the Canadian government tried its best to remain neutral, Canadians themselves became involved. It is believed that Canadian enlistment in the US Army during the Vietnam era far surpassed the 30,000 who fled as draft dodgers to Canada.[/quote:a9b07]

I was shocked as well when I heard that.

[quote:96da3]Canadians serving in the US military is nothing new. This occurred as far back as the Civil War. Forty Canadians have won America’s highest military award – the Medal of Honor.[/quote:96da3]

40!? Farken' hell! ed:

Wow, I never had any idea of this. Well, I have to say thanks to all Canadians who fought for my country.

I hope Ann Coulter's kids are born with gonorrhea and cleft palates.

True, Canadians fight for America, even though many Americans think we don't give a shit about them.
