So was reading yet another story about how some immigrant in my country(Canada) just milked the taxpayer for more money and needed to watch this to calm me down. I wonder if the vets had any idea they were just defending a country the rest of the world views as just a nice safe place to work in and rape it's resources.
Bleedin' 'ell they're playin that in a high key! I've heard Scotland the Brave hundreds of times over, but that's the first rendition arranged by Joe Pasquale I've ever come across.
like at Caen? where a Hitlerjugend division of fresh SS troops kept both the Brits and Canadians out of the City, delaying the entire allied liberation of France?
@USMarineRifleman0311 your knowledge of history is lacking.They were delayed, due to bad intelligence and surprised by the way sherman tanks could be knocked out easily.The Reginas finally silenced the opposition which led to going further, lets not forget who progressed furthest on D Day.All allies were brave and to state silly things like that is to dishonour their deaths.and indeed if you are a soldier as your moniker suggests, then you are not one of the band of brothers.
@moocowdad oh and caen was the ONLY point where the german mechanized was sent at that time.' British and Canadian forces failed to seize Caen because the Germans threw the weight of their resources and their only available armored division into the defense of the city, but they, too, had established themselves well ashore."long live REAL soldiers and REAL allies
@USMarineRifleman0311 remeber Rome where General Patton threatened to shoot Any candaian soldiers if they didn't let The US in first, how bout vimy ridge when we did what no one else could and we did it in a day. We went the farthest on D-day and we were the ones the Germans feared.
My grandad was in the dieppe raid and Normandy he said that it was a stony beach and every time the artillery
hit it threw stones around like extra shrapnel,tanks got stuck in the stones as well.You know what makes me laugh it takes alot to get things out of him but people freely talk shit and take credit for the things the old gents did!IIt's good to be proud of the things they did (but none of them that were in the shit bragged about it)!What gives you all the right!Be Proud not ignorant
Its amazing how the US likes to take so much claim for WWII while the Canadians were the toughest, funniest, and fastest. On D-Day, Canada hits Juno Beach. They pushed further and faster than any othe country. Funny thing is, most of them were drunk before they hit the beaches (True story)
For whatever reason, in general, Canadians excel in combat and competition - but you wouldn't know it if you met them.
Even today, in something as simple as video games, Canadian are disproportionately it the top ranks. There are only ~30 million of them, and 300 million Americans, yet they hold 4 of the top 10 positions on our server. I just don't get it.
@DeathTideWarrior Scotland the Brave has no set tempo, unless it is an arrangement. For the original composition was made to be played while the Scottish soldiers were marching into battle, and whatever pace they set, was the speed the music played.
@TheProby01 I'm only used to what My corps plays it at, which is under the 120 bmp which they are playing at right now. Overall, the movie was fantastic with its epic moments....I ended up searching online for this movie.
Whenever i am with the Ceremonial Guard in ottawa, (though we parade with the colours and uniforms of the GGFG and CGG) the pipers still play scottish songs, its just part of our military heritage, this is the only pipe song i can still stand to listen to tho.
Cheers boys, no matter what scarf you had still the same team? Yanks or Canucks best continent is safe. Stop being haters cause no reason? Maple leaf, Star banggled forever
@Dukesoulrender Because the Regimental March for the Black Watch Regiment of Canada is, indeed, Scotland the Brave. Just as the March for several other Canadian regiments is The British Grenadiers.
@Dukesoulrender because of forced clearance of thousands of Scots from their homeland who then were settled in Canada and had taken with them their culture which included a warrior race.Britain and Ireland had nothing to do with Canadian Scots who made the Canadian army the army they are today
@dubhlochan You are not fully correct, If you look at decendent studies the amount of Scottish descent are the almost the same as Irish in Canada 4millon each, And also the Irish have a far greater amount of decendents than most other nations due to the great Irish famine mostly America. Newfoundland is a stong Irish location in Canada. Your getting our similar cultures mixed up or claiming Irish as yours, Aslo the pipes where played by the Irish just as much as the Scots.
@IrishHitman79 If it were not for the Fraser Highlanders Canadas first language would of been French. The Great Highland Pipe that they play in this video belongs to Scotland.I would never claim something that didnt belong to Scotland i am not English.The Canadian army never adopted the Kilt and the Pipes because it was Irish or British.I cant dispute that the Irish are among the best pipers in the world
@IngnitedFuryHD No I am insulting the actors in the film who can not march arms swinging parallel to the ground and the officer who did not call out a priliminary commands...It should be ,Advance, Left turn!...a simple cadet can do better than these actors.BTW our drill is 10 times more hardcore than yank drill.
@47LN81 I agree with you on the Cadet thing. I was a Sea Cadet for 5 years and we trained on a reservist stone frigate and we always excelled at showing up the naval reservists during parades.
One of the most enjoyable WWII movies to watch. However, it is also one of the most historically inaccurate ones ever made, as well. Much the same, along the lines of Battle of the Bulge.
My father saw this back when he was 15 in theaters. My father said when the major reported in and said "Canadian Army" at 4:05 the entire theater got on its feet and cheared.
@TheSirPrise He was commenting on the quality of Canadian soldiers, the expertise of British officers and advanced American technology, all working together.
@BasilFawlty4444 But when and where did he say it? Tbh people often like to put words in the mouths of anonymous Generals and well known leader especially during the two world wars. There was apparently a German officer in WW2 who said the Nazi's would have won the war with British soldiers and German officers. Do you see what I mean?
@BasilFawlty4444 thats why churchills an overatted douche, canadian soldiers, brit officers and US space cowboys cant beat peasents in slippers called the taliban
@sexymalcom1970 Give them a level playing field then. Remove all the media outlets from the warzone and allow our soldiers to play by Taliban rules. Campaign would have been over in a month.
@mrryencoke thats what they said about vietnam more bombs were dropped in that country than in the whole of ww 2 and still the USA lost. Wars not about high kill scores, its about objectives and tactics.
"What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it."
@sexymalcom1970 "But we were elated to notice your media was definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!"
@mrryencoke yes but it doesnt win wars, perfect examples in vietnam, iraq and afghanistan. You also need to defeat an enemies will. that sometimes requires more that weapons.
@mrryencoke Given the number of war crimes documented by US forces in Iraq, did we tie one hand behind our backs in Afghanistan? Should we play by SS or Israeli or Red Army rules?
These movie is great it may be not the best be i love these movie. and please The actual i read is the US Army do not act what in the movie. Is a Hollywood stunt. lol
it may be my Scottish heritage, but whenever i hear the bagpipes it makes me feel proud to be Canadian, idk why but i always associate the bagpipes with canada first
My grandpa (I have an old black and white photo of him from the 40s) dress was very similar to the Canadian dress (he was a Brit). This is cute. But yes, we Canadians have a reputation of being polite, but also, savage when we need to be.
My family (from Canada) were all originally from Scotland. The part of Canada my folks are from used to be majority descended from Scots. Nova Scotia means New Scotland. Don't know what % of Canadians are descended from Scots, but I'd say a fair number. - Enough so a Canadian Regiment playing 'Scotland the Brave' makes perfect sense.
@MsZathras and i was in a pipe band in Canada for four years, its a 4/4 signature and as i previously said they playing it WRONG, also its fun to notice the snares stop playing and start marching but someone continue to make noise
LOL Thumbs up if you cheered when you heard the pipes 8D the first time I watched this we were sitting in class and the techer was like 'you'll know when our canadians are coming' then they started and I was like "OMG ITS US!"
As an American I'd just like to say I'm glad Canada is (usually) on our side. And ohh, I'd like to personally apologize for the whole "War of 1812" thing too.
I can watch that seen where you start to hear the pippers coming over and over again. Its swells my heart with pride knowing that we as Canadians can be the nicest most polite nation. But when called on to fight we can be the toughest and most feared army in the free world. I AM CANADIAN and forever will be, thanks to all our soldiers.
@Janusmannen It's 'cause the U.S had conscripts and some prisoners in their army. The Canadian Army was solely compulsory, you wanted in you obeyed and kept yourself in check etc...
@Janusmannen we were responsibl for the initial training of your marine corps in world war 2. trained your troops in hand to hand and weapons handling. think your has been country and hollywood made a movie about it actually. your whoo ra is great just need some follow through and maybe a leader with balls. ahemm..... unlike someone you elected.
oh yea. i knew the were canadians. so called "scottish" regiments are common in other british commonwealth countries, such as south africa. they wear the kilts and tams. :-)
Ha, ha, ha! Some of my Canuck relatives served in this unit, the Black Watch (RHR) of Canada, during WW I. They wore their kilts in the trenches, and were used as a "fire brigade."
my ex father-in-law was with the Canadian Brigade..he told us that the Americans were not obnoxious or dumb as depicted in this movie. God Bless Canada, God Bless the U.S.A.
my mother and crazy aunt were over in canada once during ww2 and saw scottish regt. troops on the street. my mother kept walking and talking then noticed aunt frieda wasnt with her. she looked back and there was frieda staning staring at them. she went back and asked what she was doing. "im waiting for the wind to blow their skirts up so i can see what they got under there." you would have to have known frieda. :)
The army is called the Canadian Army. Not! Land Force Command. They changed all the names at the end of summer 2011. Just like our navy is now the Royal Canadian Navy.
Land Force Command? After Unification it was called Mobile Command. One thing I recently read about Hellyer. After a tour of a Transport Command base (did they ever have more than Trenton, after the Dorval Hangar fire) he recognized that the RCAF C-119s were junk but he had to force the air force brass to accept the 24 C-130Es to replace them.
As an American i find canadians are a good people. Hell they're like America's stepbrothers. I was even trying to write a short story, about a company of Canadian troops in Normandy fighting off an SS panzer division. Sadly i got writers block and scuttled the idea. I still like writing fiction about the war though.
@Trashcansam123 Hardly fiction. The Canadians and the British fought some grim battles against the 12th SS Panzer division shortly after DDay that resulted in some of the few documented 'take no prisoners' engagements on the western front during WW2. My grandfather fought with the Winnipeg Rifles of the Canadian 3rd Division on DDay and beyond and said (of the 12th SS) that he "saw some truly terrible things". He never elaborated, but he didn't need to.
The names of two of the Canadian military branches have been restored to the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force. I don't believe that the name of the Canadian Army has been restored. I've never heard of the RED ENSING but Canada used to have a flag they bought at a Royal Navy garage sale . That was called "The Red Ensign".
The Canadian Expeditionary Force consisted of four combat divisions which fought in France in the Great War (and fought for the whole war).
this is how i see this part of the film americans are the bad boys and always bieng dick now offence the canadians walk in all goody two shows lol but not today lol
@NovaScotiaNewfie I think the word your looking for is embellished not fictionalized. The town they captured without any casualties and the battle in the end where they scaled the cliff to surprise the Germans really did happen. As for Hollywood portraying them as misfits and convicts, that's just something they always do to make the story more interesting. Hollywood did the same thing in the 70's with Baa Baa Blacksheep.
@odflyer1 The only part that I was referring to was about the US soldiers being convicts and misfits nothing to do with the plot, ie what battles they took part in etc.
@NovaScotiaNewfie Understood NovaScotia, but go re-read your original comment. You said the story was fictionalized. I was pointing out that the story in the movie was real, the characters may have been embellished to make the movie more interesting. When you say fictionalized you are saying they weren't real, even William Holden's character Lt. Col. Fredrick was a real person.
I know it may have been different in history but when i saw the canadians marching into the camp i was like: "Whoa now the real soldiers have arrived!" :D
Ironically, Canadian troops had a reputation for being tough, undisciplined fighters. Goebbels said once that if the Allies wanted to win the war, all they would have to do is give every Canadian soldier a bottle of whiskey, a motorcycle, a 48 hour pass, and declare Berlin off-limits.
@f3wbs actually make that "they", "us", edmonton alberta, born and raised, Dad's a corporal in SALH and a constable of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
@wilmanric1 Yes in the WWII but in the WWI ,British send them In front of line in deseperated cause, They was ALWAYS in from line. Normal they was undisciplined fighters due of the British commandemant. They send them in front of ennemy line to ''clear'' the field... They win the war because of the canadian. But you're right.

303BoltAction 2 months ago
@303BoltAction Yes - that's what they're playing.
My family (from Canada) were all originally from Scotland. The part of Canada my folks are from used to be majority descended from Scots. Nova Scotia means New Scotland. Don't know what % of Canadians are descended from Scots, but I'd say a fair number. - Enough so a Canadian Regiment playing 'Scotland the Brave' makes perfect sense.

As an American I'd just like to say I'm glad Canada is (usually) on our side. And ohh, I'd like to personally apologize for the whole "War of 1812" thing too.

I can watch that seen where you start to hear the pippers coming over and over again. Its swells my heart with pride knowing that we as Canadians can be the nicest most polite nation. But when called on to fight we can be the toughest and most feared army in the free world. I AM CANADIAN and forever will be, thanks to all our soldiers.

The army is called the Canadian Army. Not! Land Force Command. They changed all the names at the end of summer 2011. Just like our navy is now the Royal Canadian Navy.
86granty 2 months ago
Land Force Command? After Unification it was called Mobile Command. One thing I recently read about Hellyer. After a tour of a Transport Command base (did they ever have more than Trenton, after the Dorval Hangar fire) he recognized that the RCAF C-119s were junk but he had to force the air force brass to accept the 24 C-130Es to replace them.

As an American i find canadians are a good people. Hell they're like America's stepbrothers. I was even trying to write a short story, about a company of Canadian troops in Normandy fighting off an SS panzer division. Sadly i got writers block and scuttled the idea. I still like writing fiction about the war though.
Trashcansam123 2 months ago
@Trashcansam123 Hardly fiction. The Canadians and the British fought some grim battles against the 12th SS Panzer division shortly after DDay that resulted in some of the few documented 'take no prisoners' engagements on the western front during WW2. My grandfather fought with the Winnipeg Rifles of the Canadian 3rd Division on DDay and beyond and said (of the 12th SS) that he "saw some truly terrible things". He never elaborated, but he didn't need to.

The names of two of the Canadian military branches have been restored to the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force. I don't believe that the name of the Canadian Army has been restored. I've never heard of the RED ENSING but Canada used to have a flag they bought at a Royal Navy garage sale . That was called "The Red Ensign".
The Canadian Expeditionary Force consisted of four combat divisions which fought in France in the Great War (and fought for the whole war).

@jwaustinmunguy The Canadian Army did have its name restored. After unification, it was known as Land Force Command.

@NovaScotiaNewfie I think the word your looking for is embellished not fictionalized. The town they captured without any casualties and the battle in the end where they scaled the cliff to surprise the Germans really did happen. As for Hollywood portraying them as misfits and convicts, that's just something they always do to make the story more interesting. Hollywood did the same thing in the 70's with Baa Baa Blacksheep.

@NovaScotiaNewfie Understood NovaScotia, but go re-read your original comment. You said the story was fictionalized. I was pointing out that the story in the movie was real, the characters may have been embellished to make the movie more interesting. When you say fictionalized you are saying they weren't real, even William Holden's character Lt. Col. Fredrick was a real person.

Ironically, Canadian troops had a reputation for being tough, undisciplined fighters. Goebbels said once that if the Allies wanted to win the war, all they would have to do is give every Canadian soldier a bottle of whiskey, a motorcycle, a 48 hour pass, and declare Berlin off-limits.

No, I said they had the REPUTATION of being tough, undisciplined fighters. Read Johnnie Johnson's book.
Also, I don't think it's a slur at all.
Except perhaps to a Canadian.... An American would probably take it as a compliment.
