"How the hell did this become a war between Canada and the US?...
...If you dont like people knocking americans for doing stupid shit, then dont do the stupid shit. Simple enough concept."
Gee, I wonder why.
"What does Canada's healthcare system have to do with anything?"
I don't know, but it was an amusing side bar.
"Just because members of the canadian military made mistakes back in the early 90's does not make it right for americans to do the same. Im sure I could find stats showing war crimes the US committed in WWII, does that make it alright for canada to have done it in Somalia? No. Get your heads out of your asses."
No one ever said it was right. I merely started this thread to give a FEW particular bashers a little history refresher. Funny that none of the people this was really directed to even participated.
"Its not just CANADIANS that are calling the US out about their blatant disregard for their prisoners lives, its the entire world. Canada just has a louder voice than most on this board because of the high member rate. Live with it."
A blatant disregard for life would mean the taking of it. They're still alive, therefore their lives were regarded. We ARE living with your rights to opinions, comments, etc. Certainly we are allowed our own. We're South of you, not beneath you.
"Canada had to deal with the same thing during Somalia. And as you can see from that link officers in our military were punished for it. Also take note that out of the 100 or so incidents listed theres like 5-6 that have to do with murder or torture and more were aquitted. The majority of crimes there consist of the illegal or accidental discharge of a weapon. Accidents happen."
hehehe that's a lot of accidents. Translation: "firing without order to do so but not hitting your target". I'm ok with it, war is war. You know as well as I do that the torture murder thing was MUCH bigger than that report is making it out to be. Yes officers were punished, and don't worry, people will be punished here as well. I just don't recall any Americans saying BOO CANADA when that all happened.
Unfortunately, as technology increases, so do information leaks and as time goes on the general public learns more quicker. That's the biggest difference in these scenarios and will only seem worse and worse in each next incident.
"I cant wait to see that list with all the war crimes the US committed during this war. If you want to compare lists afterwards then be my guest."
Oh so when "your guys" do it, it's just "THOSE GUYS", but when people from the US do it it's "THE US". I'm sensing some feelings of superiorty from the North again...
"90% of you are on here bitching about Bush and the decisions he makes while running your country, but then show up saying how superior your country is to everyone else in a later thread. Make up your mind."
I'm not bitching about Bush and I'll admit I've voted for both of them. Every President / leader makes mistakes and nearly always almost 50% of the people will not like what one does. That's a fact of life.
So go ahead and blame him for 911, the alleged WMD "scam" whatever else you want... the truth is that if Clinton hadn't cut so much funding out of the defense budget when he was getting his knob sucked by that fat skank in the cheap dress, we would have had enough operatives gathering intelligence over there that 911 probably wouldn't have happened.
I don't remember anyone saying we were more superior than anybody just that Canada wasn't either. And THAT was the point of this thread.
When placed in a bowl of shit, people will do shitty things.
Even if they are Canadian.
