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.
I absolutely do not deny that many countries help in every conflict. I mentioned that specifically because I do not feel it is right to leave others out when so many die for any war.
