If you want to discredit Ann Coulter, all you need is Ann Coulter. And I'm not talking about this video, it turns out she was right about Canada sending troops to Vietnam. Read her books and some of the crazy creation claims she makes that are directly at odds with concrete scientific facts. The very idea that it's the 21st century and we are still disputing evolutionary science doesn't make one hopeful about the prospects of humanity.
@bddc201 There are 2 groups of Canadian soldiers who where in Vietnam, 1 was a group which was Canadians who went to the US and joined the US military and volentaraly went to Vietnam to fight as american, braking Canadian law which prohibits fighting in a war in which canada is not part of under anothers flag. The other group was part of a UN observer group sent to observe disarmerment and prisoner exchange. Neither group was sent by the Canadian government to fight the war.
@dave19941000 "Canada sent troops to Vietnam". This is the statement Ann Coulter made that is being debated. Canada most assuredly did send troops to Vietnam. There has been all sorts of hair-splitting over what that means, or what was implied. The simple fact is: Canada sent troops to Vietnam. This is an inescapable historical fact. There was no distinction made in their conversation about wether they were combat troops or simply "peacekeepers". Once again, the media is caught lying.
@bddc201 In the context of what she was saying, it is clear that she means to say Canada sent troops to Vietnam to help the US military, because she is comparing it to Canadas refusal to help the US with the Iraq war. She also made no attempt in making that clear if that was what she was saying, because in almost every possible context of what she said she was wrong. To say she was right is farther from the truth then to say she was wrong, as she did belive Canada sent soliders to fight
@dave19941000 Those are assumptions, not hard facts. When the statement; "Canada sent troops to Vietnam" is taken at face value, it is historically factual. While it is technically true that Canada had no official combat role in Vietnam during US involvement, Canada helped the US spy on North Vietnam (in direct contravention of their agreement with the UN). Canada kept selling Napalm, Agent Orange and all sorts of other war materials to the US. The "media source" left all that out.
@bddc201 If selling weapons makes you country part of a conflict, then the US is involved in almost every war on earth right now, usualy on both sides, and Napalm as well as Agent Orange where being made in Canada by US companies, not the same as being sold to the US by Canada. And when taken at face value, the statement is false because the avarage person taking it at face value will think it mean the Canadian government sent our troops to fight in Vietnam, that is the face value.
@dave19941000 SOME of those companies were US owned. Canada has control of it's exports. Ann didn't say; "fight". The statement in question is simple; "Canada sent troops to Vietnam". If she had said; "Canada sent troops to FIGHT in Vietnam", I'd be on the other side of this debate. Ultimately, Ann is human and demonstrably fallible. This particular mistake isn't all that far reaching or damnable. She has said far worse.
@dave19941000 I find myself in the awkward position of wishing I could agree with you. Ann Coulter is a graduate of Cornell and the University of Michigan. She's a licensed attorney and best-selling author. I don't think of her as a moron, but as a cunning and shameless corporate shill who makes no pretense of objectivity. She is so much like the very people she criticizes, that it's difficult to take her seriously. Yet people do. She is far more dangerous than a simple moron.
CANADA DIN NOT SEND TROOPS TO VIETNAM... DID PEOPLE FROM CANADA ENLIST ON THEIR OWN TO FIGHT IN VIETNAM? YES BUT THE GOVERNMENT IN NO WAY SENT TROOPS.. ANN COULTER IS FULL OF SHIT AND A USE FULL IDIOT FOR THE NEW WORLD ORDER..
We all know that Canada did not fight that war. Coulter was not alluding to young men that jumped the border to sign up with the U.S. and we all know it. She thought that Canada sent forces to fight the war, like they did in WWII and Korea. That's what's implied when you say "Canada sent troops." You coulter apologists are doing a lot of digging to prove her right; she clearly had misconceptions about past Canadian foreign policy.
It got pretty desperate. The 200 or so forces in 1973 is the closest they've been to saving her. Pretty funny, Other than that, Canada did not send troops to fight in the war.
Of course they didn't fight that war. What's on that wiki page is pretty consistent with what I've heard from all the desperate neocon coulter apologists too. Let's see if the coulter cult can come up with something more impressive then a handful of peacekeepers in 1973, LOL. They'll highlight any small sign of Canadian involvement in vietnam to save the neocon cult guru. War mongers like to protect themselves, while calling for the deaths of others.
Canada sent troops for the paris peace accords....they were there for peaceful diplomatic protection....during the pull out.......30,000 plus Canucks joined the vietnam war under the flag of the US ...close to the same amounht of defectors came to canada!
Fucking idiot... I'm Canadian, and I'm pretty sure I never learned about the Canadian Airborne Regiment or any combat force being sent to Vietnam in history class. My grandpa on my dad's side fought in Vietnam, but he lived down there (not American by the way, he was Swedish).
Discussing any issue with a liberal is like wrestling with a pig, everyone gets full of mud and the pig enjoys it. We are done here, you bring nothing to the discourse.
@AtlasObjectivist Haha, I like that. 100% on, too. Or you could say: Debating with a liberal is like teaching a pig to sing. You waste your time and it annoys the pig.
Well she kinda got it right in that 10 000 Canadians joined the United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam War and he got it wrong when he said we sent no troops to Iraq. We did send troops the first time when it was UN sanctioned and not the 2nd time when it was US sanctioned
@ttdwarren Canada sent 0 troops to Vietnam and 0 troops to Iraq. Canadians who participated in either war where either members of the US military or exchange officers. In no way was Ann Coulter right in her statement in any context.
@AtlasObjectivist Canada sent 0 troops to Vietnam and 0 troops to Iraq. Canadians who participated in either war where either members of the US military or exchange officers. In no way was Ann Coulter right in her statement in any context.
@dave19941000 The Canadian government sent troops to Vietnam in August 1954 during the partition of Vietnam. They stayed through January 1973. They incurred casualties and several deaths. Confirmation and further details appear in the articles on International Control Commission and International Commission of Control and Supervision, both of which contain extensive links and references.
@dave19941000 The government of Canada awarded medals to 1,550 of these troops for their service between August 7, 1954 and January 28, 1973. A second medal was also awarded to the 240 Canadian troops who participated in Operation Gallant in Vietnam from January 28, 1973 to July 31, 1973.
@AtlasObjectivist The government sent them as peacekeepers, they where not fighting on either side of the war and where not supporting the Americans. There where Canadian casualties, about 80 of them, but all where from Canadians who where part of the US military. And the Peacekeeping force was in Vietnam in 1954 and 1973, not between 1954 and 1973. Canada was never part of the war and never aided the US in it.
@dave19941000 interesting, but that's not what your original statement said. You need to inform the family of Sergeant Byrne he was not killed in Vietnam in 1965.
Troops were sent, my original statement is correct and so is Ann's. Yours is wrong, so go outside and play before it gets dark, it's almost bedtime.
@dave19941000 Stop embarrassing yourself. What the hell do think peacekeepers are... hippies with protest signs? They were Canadian military personnel and you are doing them a great dishonor by continuing your confused liberal point of view.
@AtlasObjectivist They where only sent to oversee the disarmament, the fact they where part of Canada's military changes nothing. Soldiers or not they did not fight.
@AtlasObjectivist Exactly. GTFO liberals. You ignorant liberals NEVER have your facts straight or even close. You twist and turn them for the moment to appear smarter than the person you're debating. GOD I HATE liberals. Face the fucking facts and quit splitting hairs. Yes or no, did Canada send troops to Vietnam?
Yes. 245 troops were sent and stayed by the ICCS from 1973 to 1975.
Yes, check the North Wall - Canadians died in Vietnam fighting against the tide of communism. It worked. Go and ask a South Vietnamese. Yes, it still exists.
@gismofly Anne Coulter in not correct....Canada did not, as a country, involve itself in Vietnam! It is true that quite a few Canucks went to the US and enlisted and fought for the US in that war. Big difference
@MrFreedomrequired "Between 28 January 1973 and 31 July 1973, Canada provided 240 peacekeeping troops to Operation Gallant, the peace keeping operation associated with the International Commission of Control and Supervision (ICCS) Vietnam, along with Hungary, Indonesia, and Poland.[28] Their role was to monitor the cease-fire in South Vietnam per the Paris Peace Accords.[29]" as posted before, the canadian government sent troops
@kissemurra12 Thanks very much for that update....but you know as well as I...... that this was not a part of the war but a part of the peace...as well as the other countries that served during the peace process. Canada did sell alot of arms to the USA during THIER war And as well and some 30,000 + Canadians entered the war on behalf of the Americans....Canada did not have a combat role as a country!
Yes, check the North Wall - Canadians died in Vietnam fighting against the tide of communism. It worked. Go and ask a South Vietnamese. Yes, it still exists.
The USA and Canada are so intergraded as it is even if canada did sent troops through the UN and 40 000 - 60 000 canadians joined the US Military our socialist government wouldn't fully annouce it,were lucky their is a Canadian Wall in Windsor Ontario..
Canada did send Troops to Vietnam. . . of course this was part of a UN Mandate to moniter the situation between North and South Vietnam before the fall of the South. We did not send soldiers in support of US Military Operations.
@SlayerofFiction Did they really? Well, Offically, The Canadian goverment didn`t force their own people to either to go to Vietnam or go to prison, Of course they couldn`t stop their own citizens from going, Once they left Canada, As for knowledge, There`s only one redeeming fact you need to know about Vietnam, The U.S.A Lost the war, Embrace that.
The British didn`t send any troops either, I have to say this does suprise me somewhat, As I belive a lot of people ( U.S.A Nationals ) Went to Canada to avoid the draft, It`s even mentioned in some films, Girl Interupted, I think was one for example.
@xmoroseguyx actually the interviewer is wrong according the to CBC there were some 30,000 canadian volunteers in vietnam and the canadian military had some special forces missions as well, knowledge is a bitch, embrace it.
@SlayerofFiction What the hell? Canada as a country DID NOT SEND any regiments to vietnam. Canadian citizens crossed the US border to enlist. Special forces? Do you have evidence we sent special forces? Hard evidence please, no speculations.
@tobascocat1 Not much hard evidence about Canadian special forces being deployed anywhere aside from obvious places like Afghanistan. That said, we probably did send some troops from the CAR over.
@tobascocat1Canada did not send any Canadian Regiments to Vietnam! END QUOTE.... your wrong just like the dip shit in this video... Canada deployed troops to Vietnam in 1973. remember Canadians are frenchies and frenchmen are shit... look at there involvement in the middle east... constantly giving the u.s a hard time!
@tobascocat1 "Between 28 January 1973 and 31 July 1973, Canada provided 240 peacekeeping troops to Operation Gallant, the peace keeping operation associated with the International Commission of Control and Supervision (ICCS) Vietnam, along with Hungary, Indonesia, and Poland.[28] Their role was to monitor the cease-fire in South Vietnam per the Paris Peace Accords.[29]"
of course not, they were there to drink tea, not to fight just like the americans were sent not to fight, but to drink tea
@tobascocat1 Yes, they did. Under the ICCS, Canada sent 245 troops to 'Nam to help the U.S. from 1973-'75.
Liberals are owned again. You liberals should of stayed awake during 10'th grade history class rather than thinking skipping class to smoke pot was cool.
But, then again, you twist and bend facts to suit the situation so you look smart.
@Bllackguard666 Canada sent soldiers in Vietnam around 1973 but to help enforce the Paris Peace Accords. They were not there to officially fight with the Americans, we were there to officially observe the cease fire with 3 other nations.
Canadians did fight in the Vietnam War but it was not under a regimental banner. These Canadian citizens joined the US military because Canada was not sending its own soldiers as a battle group.
@Bllackguard666 So officially....Canada did not fight in the Vietnam war. We do recognize that Canadian citizens fought in that war under the US flag.
@IndividualParties Yeah, they did. I suggest you stop thinking you're right and everyone and evidence is wrong. I know that would hurt your ego, but be a man. Trying to one up someone on Youtube despite proof is just proving you're a troll. I'm done feeding you.
@IndividualParties 1. Ten to forty thousand Canadians, voluntarily served in Vietnam or during the Vietnam era with the American military, of whom 111 Canadians, were lost. One Canadian soldier, Toronto born Peter C. Lemon, won the Congressional Medal of Honor. Cont....
2. 2. Canada's Wall Memorial to Canadian Vietnam vets: In the early 1960s, When the Canadian government decided to severely cut back her Armed Forces, tens of thousands of young Canadian males crossed the border to join up with the American military during the era of the Vietnam War. Over one hundred Canadians lost their lives. 3. Canada's "North Wall": The monument is of black granite with the names inscribed of those Canadian Vietnam veterans killed in action during the war.
" Canadian males crossed the border to join up with the American military during the era of the Vietnam War."
LOL, right!!! good job debunking yourself, Ann. They crossed the border. LOL, why do you think they crossed the border Ann? because CANADA wasn't sending troops to fight in vietnam. If Canadians wanted to fight in the war, they had to cross the border to join up with the AMERICANS- who WERE sending troops to Vietnam. LOL.
"Canada has a Memorial for their Vietnam vets because they never sent troops?"
The memorial is to honor dead Canadians that had to CROSS THE BORDER to join the U.S. forces. It says so in your own comment, silly. Canada did not send their own troops to Vietnam, are you really this thick?
@IndividualParties And to properly finish you with a proper ownage: Canada DID send troops to Vietnam.They did send troops in 1973. It was called “Operation Gallant”. They contributed 240 Canadian forces. In addition 10-40 thousand Canadians served voluntarily with Americans.
There is a memorial to their soldiers who served in Vietnam named The North Wall at Assumption Park in Windsor, Ontario. Is that enough reference for you?
"Canada did not fight in the Vietnam War and diplomatically it was "officially non-belligerent".[1] The country's troop deployments to Vietnam were limited to a small number of national forces in 1973 to help enforce the Paris Peace Accords.[2] "
@HateSpeechPatrol wikiflawdeia? That's why is contradicted itself. Sad, uneducated people go to wiki. Us with real knowledge go to real sources that are not well known like your wiki. Did you know anyone can edit the information on a wiki page?
If you don't like the content, just ignore it, and attack the source, makes life easier right? If it's wrong, go edit and correct it then, and site YOUR source.
@IndividualParties Apparently, you have selective researching. If you saw the sources I did present, there are photos of the North Wall, and Canadian Vietnam Vets. You're just a troll.
Righ, Canadian vietnam vets, which I understand to be people that came to the United States, joined our military, and were sent to vietnam (by the united states). Are you trying to suggest that they actually fought and died in the Vietnam war as Canadian military forces sent by the Canadian government? It's amusing you don't understand this. Let's say so many of our forces in Iraq happen to be cuban immigrants, does that mean cuba sent troops to Iraq?
Right buddy... Canada never sent troops to Vietnam, even though there were 110 Canadian war dead and the fact that 1 Canadian had earned the Medal of Honor (Sgt. Peter C. Lemon). Oh... and then let's not forget the arrogent comment of there were no Canadians in Iraq either, except for the fact that Canadian Special Operation Forces (JTF-2) were in Iraq as well, and operating at a Tier 1 Element level just like American units like Navy SEALs DEVGRU, or Delta Force.
@Zuby05 Canada didn't send troops to Vietnam. Lemon was in the US forces as were all Canadians who served in Vietnam. the medal honor can only be given to members of the US army.
@Zuby05 You're out of your god-damned mind. Do have any evidence whatsoever to substantiate any of these claims you're making?
I'm not sure where you pulled this 110 war dead statistic from, and I know there were no Canadian regiments in Vietnam. As far as I know, 1 Canadian "troop" died in an ICC helicopter crash... And they were only there to officiate the peace process.
@sedatedmonkey Well, I'm going to assume from your blatant disregard for researching the other side of the arguement here that you are an American... Where I get the number of 110 Canadian war dead in Vietnam, comes from the War Memorial that was erected in honour of the Canadians who lost their lives in Vietnam. Canada might not have fully activated their military during that war, there were still Canadian soldiers in Vietnam, and you can find any of this information by looking up...
@Zuby05 Yes their were Canadian Soldiers in Vietnam, less then a Hundred I think. The Canadians who fought in Vietnam were American Soldiers of Canadian Citizenship.
Her statement is still incorrect as we didnt send troops to assist the US.
@sedatedmonkey ...Canadian Forces on Wikipedia and looking at the Forces military history, Vietnam is one of the wars listed on that list. Quite frankly, no, I am not "out of my God-damned mind", because it really would not be the first time that Canadians have taken part on an American inititive and have gotten zero acknowledgment from it, but that's alright, because we are just such nice people that we'll keep on forgiving Americans for not giving the earned respect that we Canadians deserves
@sedatedmonkey Attached are some website names that detail Canadian involvement during the war,
The Canadian Vietnam Veterans Memorial Association. The North Wall Canadians Vietnam Veterans' Memorial located in Windsor, Onatrio. Canada and the Vietnam War (Wikipedia), Canada's Involvement in the Vietnam War.
@sedatedmonkey Coulter is correct. Canada sent troops. Read -Shadows of War, Faces of Peace; Canada's Peacekeepers by J.L. Granatstein/ Douglas Lavender
Canada it'self didn't commit to the war in vietnam but canadians did flock into the U.S military and continue to do so to this day,you'll be suprised how many canadians are in or was in the American Military this second..
Canada did not officially send troops, but it is estimated that roughly 3 000 Canadians joined the US Military to fight in Vietnam, the names of 103 of them are on the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in Washington and the North Wall in Windsor, Ontario.
That said, a bag of hammers is exceptionally intelligent compared to Ann Coutler.
Yes Canada did have troops when Vietnam was a police action. My brother-in-law who was with American army always said when a Canadian was watching his back, he knew he would be fine.
@smcbridemtl I was surprised to find out that there actually were a lot of Canadians in Vietnam. It kind of fills me with a sense of mild patriotism that most Canadians are devoid of.
I'd say without a doubt a few Canadians did serve though on exchange with Australian and New Zealand forces. They wouldn't have been allowed on ops with US forces but those with one of the Commonwealth contingents would've gone. Same with the Brits, a few served with, RNZAF, RAAF, SASR and NZSAS in Vietnam.
we never trained troops..except in the fields under Nato agreements.but to say we trained troops for vietnam specifically is stretching it, and we never sent troops, yes canadians did volunteer for the US military on their own, but in no way was endorsed by the govt.However we did send some troops at the end of the war under UN direction as peacekeppers..which failed miserably, not the troops..its becuase there was no peace..just a time for withdrawal.
@heat45jc it lists the Names of Canadians who died in Vietnam unfortinatly in the Peacetower you will not find those names as 'Official War Dead' of the Canadian Forces.
@Arsenal02071 STUPID ASS! YOU TWIST THE QUESTION. MAY HAVE TRAINED AMERICANS IN CANADA. AMERICANS GO TO EVERY WAR! HE IS DEFENDING THE QUESTION WHETHER CANADA, SENT "CANADIAN" SOLDIERS TO VIETNAM. NOT AMERICAN TRAINED IN CANADA STUPID!!
@golftrailsucks LMAO Your the stupid one. I'm saying that although Canada didn't go, they helped train soldiers. LOL It's just a comment I didn't twist anything dumbass LOL
@Arsenal02071 YES SHE DID DUMMY, AMERICANS ARE KNOW FOR THAT. THEY LIKE TO DODGE QUESTIONS .. SHE NEVER GOT BACK WITH THE ANSWER. NOW THAT IS A FACT. SEE IF YOU CAN TWIST THAT FACT.
@golftrailsucks YOU ARE RETARDED. I NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT HER DODGING THE QUESTION YOU STUPID PRICK!! I JUST STATED THAT THEY TRAINED AMERICANS. CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT I SAID WHAT I SAID NOT WHAT YOU "THINK" I SAID??? YOU ARE ACCUSING ME OF SOMETHING I DIDN"T EVEN MENTION LMAO!!!! I NEVER SAID CANADIANS WENT!! I SAID THEY TRAINSED AMERICANS BECUASE ITS AN INTERESTING FACT. NOW GET THAT IN YOUR FUCKIN HEAD!!!
@golftrailsucks YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND!!! I REALISE THAT WE DIDNT SEND OUR TROOPS TO VIETNAM LIKE THE STATES!!!! I AM THEN SAYING SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BY JUST COMMENTING THAT WE TRAINED SOME AMERICANS!!! IT IS AN INTERESTING FACT!!! YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS!! I AM NOT TWISTING ANYTHING IM JUST SAYING THAT WE TRAINED AMERICAN TROOPS!!! I NEVER TWISTED ANYTHING!!! IM NOT EVEN RALTING THIS TO THE QUESTION!!! YOU CLEARLY CANNOT READ SOMEONES COMMENT AND PROJECT THAT KNOWLEDGE ACCURETLY
Somewhere between 10, and 12 thousand Canadians served in Vietnam as volunteers in the U.S. Armed services. That we did not as a nation is a great shame. Our Grandfathers saved Belgium and France. Our fathers saved half of Europe, and this generation took a vacation from fighting for freedom. SHAME. Vietman is still a backward communist prison state.
That would be funny except Ms.Coulter is right. The last of the Canadians left Vietnam in 1973. It's fun to pretend things aren't true.........amiright?
@carlrs15 Apparently I can't post url's on youtube? Many served and were sent to nam as part of the Paris Accords. I don't think these men would lie. It's also fairly obvious that the Canadian gov denies any involvment and continues to ignore their nam vets to this day. Apparently the US hasn't cornered the market on revisionist history.
Not at all. And I don't think you can; YouTube flags any url's; that's also (I'm guessing) why you can only post the "watchcfhr23"-type gibberish to recommend videos. Videos on YouTube, that is.
Try PM'ing me the link; I'd like to see it. THAT SAID, I have to think Coulter meant 'troops' in the sense of large-scale military forces sent in during the war, not peacekeeping forces sent in after the fact.
this never gets old. and the best part is that you KNOW there will be people twisting themselves into knots trying to concoct a defense of her. that's almost as funny.
I dont like Ann Coulter and I think the US involvement in Vietnam was a COLOSSAL mistake,but I have a question to all Canadians watching this footage.If Canada was being threatened by an outside force would you want the US to intervene on your behalf?If so,why is it okay to intervene for Canada and not Vietnam?Peace...
Wow..mixing up factual knowledge has nothing to do with stupidity; this simply means the woman is human. I've heard negative rumours about this woman, but based on this interview, she accepted her mistake as a professional. To all the insulters, I'm sure you never made mistakes in your life?
they are both right and they are both wrong lol. 40,000 canadian jumped the border and enlisted into the US army and USMC and were sent to vietnam. There is a canadian vietnam memorial in windsor ontario. Many of the kia soldiers are not listed though because they enlisted in places such as detroit, boston, NY, seattle, and so when they were killed those cities were marked as there homes. Many vets also gave fake addresses in order to enlist. There is vietnam veteran associations in canada too.
Canada send 26,791 Combat troops to Fight in The Korean war. Canada send 2,830 to fight War in Afghanistan.But Canada send 0 Combat Troops to Fight in The Vietnam war (240 Canadian Peacekeeping were send to Vietnam to help enforce the Paris Peace Accords in of 1973).
Coulter isn't entirely incorrect, though numbers vary significantly, about 5'000 (low est) Canadian volunteers enlisted & served with the US Forces in Vietnam during the war.
Following the Paris Peace Treaty of 1972, the International Commission for Control and Supervision (ICCS) in Vietnam (1973-1974) was created to monitor the cease-fire and return of prisoners in Vietnam. During 1973, Canada contributed a warship and military observers, totalling 248 personnel.
Do you really equate the phrases "Canada sent troops" with "Canadian volunteers enlisted in the US Army"?
Are you too stupid to understand the difference in meaning?
Or are you so obnoxiously stubborn that, like Ann Coulter, you refuse to acknowledge any evidence that blatantly contradicts your dogmatic little pinhead?
Sorry, I should give you a 3rd option, but I can't think of one
And when your swaggering imbecile Dubya asked Canada into Iraq, do you think he was thinking ICCS?
You claim your "personal friend went to Vietnam with the Canadian army of which he was a member."
I simply asked you in which regiment he served?
And while you're inventing a fictitious answer, why not quote the fictitious act of parliament and the fictitious order from Canada's Chief of Defence Staff that this fictitious regiment was following.
Perhaps it is your "personal friend" who is deluded.
Australian and New Zealand supported America in Vietnam.

We all know that Canada did not fight that war. Coulter was not alluding to young men that jumped the border to sign up with the U.S. and we all know it. She thought that Canada sent forces to fight the war, like they did in WWII and Korea. That's what's implied when you say "Canada sent troops." You coulter apologists are doing a lot of digging to prove her right; she clearly had misconceptions about past Canadian foreign policy.

Of course they didn't fight that war. What's on that wiki page is pretty consistent with what I've heard from all the desperate neocon coulter apologists too. Let's see if the coulter cult can come up with something more impressive then a handful of peacekeepers in 1973, LOL. They'll highlight any small sign of Canadian involvement in vietnam to save the neocon cult guru. War mongers like to protect themselves, while calling for the deaths of others.

@dave19941000 The Canadian government sent troops to Vietnam in August 1954 during the partition of Vietnam. They stayed through January 1973. They incurred casualties and several deaths. Confirmation and further details appear in the articles on International Control Commission and International Commission of Control and Supervision, both of which contain extensive links and references.

@dave19941000 The government of Canada awarded medals to 1,550 of these troops for their service between August 7, 1954 and January 28, 1973. A second medal was also awarded to the 240 Canadian troops who participated in Operation Gallant in Vietnam from January 28, 1973 to July 31, 1973.

That would be funny except Ms.Coulter is right. The last of the Canadians left Vietnam in 1973. It's fun to pretend things aren't true.........amiright?

@carlrs15 Apparently I can't post url's on youtube? Many served and were sent to nam as part of the Paris Accords. I don't think these men would lie. It's also fairly obvious that the Canadian gov denies any involvment and continues to ignore their nam vets to this day. Apparently the US hasn't cornered the market on revisionist history.

Not at all. And I don't think you can; YouTube flags any url's; that's also (I'm guessing) why you can only post the "watchcfhr23"-type gibberish to recommend videos. Videos on YouTube, that is.
Try PM'ing me the link; I'd like to see it. THAT SAID, I have to think Coulter meant 'troops' in the sense of large-scale military forces sent in during the war, not peacekeeping forces sent in after the fact.

I dont like Ann Coulter and I think the US involvement in Vietnam was a COLOSSAL mistake,but I have a question to all Canadians watching this footage.If Canada was being threatened by an outside force would you want the US to intervene on your behalf?If so,why is it okay to intervene for Canada and not Vietnam?Peace...

Wow..mixing up factual knowledge has nothing to do with stupidity; this simply means the woman is human. I've heard negative rumours about this woman, but based on this interview, she accepted her mistake as a professional. To all the insulters, I'm sure you never made mistakes in your life?

they are both right and they are both wrong lol. 40,000 canadian jumped the border and enlisted into the US army and USMC and were sent to vietnam. There is a canadian vietnam memorial in windsor ontario. Many of the kia soldiers are not listed though because they enlisted in places such as detroit, boston, NY, seattle, and so when they were killed those cities were marked as there homes. Many vets also gave fake addresses in order to enlist. There is vietnam veteran associations in canada too.

Canada send 26,791 Combat troops to Fight in The Korean war. Canada send 2,830 to fight War in Afghanistan.But Canada send 0 Combat Troops to Fight in The Vietnam war (240 Canadian Peacekeeping were send to Vietnam to help enforce the Paris Peace Accords in of 1973).

Coulter isn't entirely incorrect, though numbers vary significantly, about 5'000 (low est) Canadian volunteers enlisted & served with the US Forces in Vietnam during the war.
Following the Paris Peace Treaty of 1972, the International Commission for Control and Supervision (ICCS) in Vietnam (1973-1974) was created to monitor the cease-fire and return of prisoners in Vietnam. During 1973, Canada contributed a warship and military observers, totalling 248 personnel.

@MelioraCogito
Do you really equate the phrases "Canada sent troops" with "Canadian volunteers enlisted in the US Army"?
Are you too stupid to understand the difference in meaning?
Or are you so obnoxiously stubborn that, like Ann Coulter, you refuse to acknowledge any evidence that blatantly contradicts your dogmatic little pinhead?
Sorry, I should give you a 3rd option, but I can't think of one
And when your swaggering imbecile Dubya asked Canada into Iraq, do you think he was thinking ICCS?

Really?
Am I the one who is deluded?
You claim your "personal friend went to Vietnam with the Canadian army of which he was a member."
I simply asked you in which regiment he served?
And while you're inventing a fictitious answer, why not quote the fictitious act of parliament and the fictitious order from Canada's Chief of Defence Staff that this fictitious regiment was following.
Perhaps it is your "personal friend" who is deluded.
