Rhode Island National Guard Vs. Canada. Who Wins?
 

If Bush sends the Rhode Island National Guard to invade and put down the Canuks who will win? I say Rhode Island inside of a week. :thumbsup

Check the history of the War of 1812.

You got your butts kicked.

This isn't 1812. We're not having a fucking reenactment we're having a modern day Guard vs. Canada matchup

Shit RI is home of the most powerful Mobsters in the country!!!!

Canada would go down in less time than it took isreal to win ( in the six day war!!!!!)

Had to make a spin off of the US VS EU thread?

I'd take some of that action.. easy money.

:sleep Christ this is getting old and boring...

Dare I point out that Rhode Island does not touch Canada? So you expect people from RI to travel through Mass and New Hampshire just to get to the border?

Please, these people wont even drive 20 miles to go see a Patriots game.

But, pound for pound I'm sure there are more guns in Rhode Island than in all of Canada, thanks to the various "families" in the area.

:1orglaugh This is in the event that theoretically we could get the Rhode Islanders to mobilize.

lol, funny shit.

maybe you should check it too ;)

British soldiers were responsible for burning the capital, and Canadians were gunned down and did not even get past Chalmette in the end.

I grew up near the last battlefield, I assure you, what you were told as a kid about Canada doing this and that, ios lies.

No different then how they sugarcoat the white killing the natives here. ;)

My family fought in that last battle, and 3000 Brits died for no reason because the war was already over.

so basicaly you are bragging that communication was so bad, the war had ended for 3 months yet brits and canadians were still being gun down like nothing in the south?

i take great pride that my family held New Orleans from the brits and any lost canadian that made it down that far.

;)

:1orglaugh Thanks for the history lesson Fletch. YOU'RE FUCKING DOOMED CANADA. Go Rhode Island

i noticed your state says LA.

born and bred.

i laugh when i see canadians brag about the war of 1812.

we had an entire class dedicated to these wars as a kid growing up there.

people fail to realize how important not allowing the brits to take new orleans was, it is the port of the Mississippi, the father of rivers. If you control the Mississippi, you can DIVIDE THIS COUNTRY. Had the brits took new orleans, this country would not be the same, or be here.

Negroes from lafitte and the swamps, the aid of the Baratarians, and regulatr men and women NOT OF UNIFORM defended that city with their life./

and we won.

this war was not won by soldiers, it was won by the people. they fought with sticks, their own guns, and even the negroes of the time used cannons to literally wipe out all the brits, over 3000 and few southerners died.

they walked into the trnenches of chalmette clueless, and they were gunned down, tired and exausted. report are the southerners almost felt asorry for them because in the end they had to clean the bodies up, and the war had been over for months. communication caused their death.

i grew up playing hide and seek on the battliefield above, oneoof the most defining things in my life i think.

Fletch is that history lesson from a Cereal Box? Maybe you should learn some world history and not some biased American History.


There was 4 seperate attacks on the border where the US troops tried to move in an invade (Uppercanada and Lower Canada) what is now Quebec and Ontario.

And after shutting down each of the US's 4 attempts we sent our soldiers south with the British Troops. The combination of BRIT and CAN troops made it as far south as Washington, where they lit the white house in flames.

Britian was under a "no occupation" of new territories order by there own government or Washington WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GIVEN BACK.

Whether it can be admitted to or not, your ass was handed to you.



On another note...IF the US ever tried to invade Canada, it would be the last thing they did as a Super Power. the UN would not allow it and we'd have the whole world backing us.

You guys have a military, but you dont have enough to fight the world. One button shuts off your whole Distant Early Warning system, you know the one that watches for incoming ICBM's, and has been protecting the US's skies for 30 yrs. That is completey owned and run by the Can Governent.

And your right about Chalmette, the troops had no clue about the non occupation rule the brits were living by, when most had pulled out many were left down there to fight, very few made it home.

Not sure what you are getting at, considering I am speaking of the Battle of new Orleans. The one that ended it perhaps? Actually, as said, the war was over, but the brits were STILL marching into Chalmette, were they not? Andrew Jackson, have you forgotten all that part of the war???

How did we get our ass handed to us?

"Defending New Orleans were about 5,000 militia and volunteer soldiers (including a contingent of Jean Lafitte?s Baratarians) under 47-year-old Major General Andrew Jackson. On December 23, when Pakenham?s troops were within nine miles of the city, Jackson halted their advance in a fierce night attack that caught the British off guard. The Americans then withdrew behind the banks of the Rodriguez Canal."

as I said, 5000 people from the city there, my family.

"The Battle of New Orleans lasted less than two hours, with the major fighting confined to about 30 minutes. British casualties exceeded 2,000; the Americans reported only 13. On January 18 the British retreated to Lake Borgne, ending the Louisiana campaign and ensuring the United States of a bright future for the lower Mississippi Valley."

2k dead brits, VERY few southerners.

The brits didnt know the territory and thats all thee is to it. They matrched into a trap, and they all died.

I guess we're both on diferant aspects/parts of the war.

What most people dont realize is the Brit and CAN troops only attacked after war was declared on us, and after the US troops had tried to break threw the canadian lines. We were far from prepared but we fought off all the attempts of invasion. It was only after the First Invasion attacks that the troops followed south to extinguish all attempts to take over the canadian french and english settlements.


To me its fuckin scary how close we all came to being British..lol

So we both have something to be thankful for, and none of those men died in vain.

Yea I agree....Coming from the home of the Quahog, Del's lemonade, Coffee Milk, and the Best Italian food on the planet I would say R.I. would win hands down. Your not kidding Joe :)
