I'm not going to belittle the contribution that those men made, so arguing back and forth over this is silly. If you believe that when a Western country gets in trouble they will be placing their first call to Canada, so be it.

Upset, nah. Too old and been around the block too many times to let a simple post bother me.
I'm not entirely arguing - I agree with some of the points you made...and likewise not belittling the U.S. (Americans need little help making themselves look bad
)
I merely felt the desire to reflect on the significant effort and sacrifice Canada has made in past generations when it comes to war.
I think it was a line from Braveheart - "History is written by those who would hang heroes" - and all too often the U.S. is quick to write revisionist history in an attempt to take more share of the credit than is often due.
