Getting invovled by lend lease was pragmatic and helped England and Russia bleed Germany more while the US tooled up its economy. I believe some American officials wanted to take on Hitler, but it wasn't like the US rushed in... they could have joined in 1939 if they thought Hitler was bad news. They waited until Japan smashed the fleet at Pearl. US public opinion wouldn't likely have supported a European campaign by US troops without that.
And Russia, by itself, would have beaten Germany.
Actually, they didn't get involved because of the Nazis. They stayed out of the war until the Japanese attacked pearl harbour. Basically they didn't get involved until it actually affected them. Sure, they SAID it was about not letting Hitler rule the world, but that's the sort of thing you say when you want people to fight, or for yourself to look good in later years. Really, if the war had just left them alone, they would probably have left Hitler alone.
@jezza1789 not really the allies just Americans, Germany is doing great, France is getting by, Canada is doing pretty good as is Australia. Greece, Italy, Spain and the Portuguese are going Bankrupt cause of excessive spending on bullshit, its what happens if you do not balance the books.
All this fighting makes me angry. I am proud of my great nation (which is Canada), and I am damn proud to be called "ally" by the US. Enough fighting over who is better. We both have our faults but we are both strong nations in the end.
@IsbergProductions fuck the ignorant Americans, they trash talk our Canadian soldiers and Military as if they could do it all them selves.
i can just imagine what History class is like in high school in America, it's probably something like this : wee are great, wee are great, wee are the best, wee are the best, wee are king, wee are king......ect
@MegaHowHI yeah, i hear about 95% of americans i talk to about ww2 say, canada was in world war 2? america saved the world and other asinine things... they think they are the toughest and hardest country, so they choose to not pick up a book and read facts like, canada declared war on nazi germany in 1939, and america didnt engage in combat operations against them until early 42
@101andrewj When you say they think that implies that you know every american. And know that everyone here thinks that. I suggest you think alittle. And realise you can't judge a book by it's cover. Americans don't just sit around and think wow i am so badass all day like what the hell. I for one don't and noone I know does either. Less books more common sense for you.
@MrWVFordGuy i dont know every ameircan, but i shit you not, over a hundred of them personally have told me america won ww2 by themself, saved the world, canada has a army? and other shit like that... now i dont have to ask 320 million of them to get the general idea, i do agree that some americans are educated and know the true events of ww2, but those are a very small% of the total population
Don't kid yourself. Without the US economy, the end of WWII would have been very different. Just take a look at the various industrial production figures and you'll realize that. Amateurs talk about tactics, professionals talk about logistics.
In the long run, Germany was done. The Russians would have taken them out eventually as long as they didn't collapse. But the cold war border without US involvement in Europe would have been the European coastline.
@ghandimauler i do agree there, i believe the USA only got involved in europe because they didnt want the soviets to get it all for themselfs... and even tho germany had superior technology and tactics, they lost because they were outproduced by english and russian industry
Respectfully, your current affairs and state of the world knowledge must be pretty dubious. If Canada pulled out all of its forces, the US would have to deploy less than one additional brigade (a bit annoying, but no big strain). Don't everrate the size of our contribution. Their military is very much larger than ours.
The us is shifting from 33 to 48 brigades by 2013. Imagine our one brigade isn't a huge factor.
@DJonX7 it always started for defensive reasons, but every time canadas been in a war it ends with them invading someone elce, from america in 1812, to france in 1945, and afghanistan in 2001
@DJonX7 not necessarily true, the Boer War for instance. Or the reason we joined WW2 isn't something to be proud of. We joined to prop up a military dictatorship that was attacking and killing ethnic minorities. Yes, I refer to Poland.
@Charlie12241 i know liek omfg eh. I was just talking to bob about them yankee doodles talking all sorts of didly on us canadian's military. I get liek so mad when i watch hockey drink beer and go hunt beavers.
@Charlie12241 becuz they dont know fuck all. They actually sometimes bring that attitude with them when they come to Canada. I can think of a couple people who's opinions a buddy and I changed. fuck that was a crazy night. broke my hand all to fuck. but u should of seen the yank's face lol
Good work! Great to see how disciplined our neighbors to the north in the Canadian Forces are. Wouldn't mind having some of you guys training out troops more.
I don't think Churchill said that. But it's a nice quote anyway; every one seems to agree that Canadian soldiers are some of the most professional and well trained in the world.
@nashxomusulmanin actually, america, with help from canadian and australian special forces, and britian with dutch special forces, took over the entire country of afghanistan with less then 25 000 troops and in about 1 month... they couldnt subdue the insurgency because of pakistan, but the country was completly conquered and for the most part by lean nato special forces, not mechanized divisions like in iraq.. it was a far more efficent and effective invasion
The kinetic component was efficient. If we don't get some sort of coherent, useful endgame in Afghanistan (and that seems unlikely, given the murky policy and relations with the government), the invasion's success won't matter much.
Afghanistan isn't a ten year game, it's a fifty year game and we aren't willing to pay for that. I have a friend who does Op Planning, CIMIC and IA stuff for NATO over there. The taliban will just come back after NATO goes.
Nobody could. It's at least a 50 year project if you are brutal and bloody minded. If you aren't, its a 100-200 year project to change a culture. Most Afghani wouldn't recognize Afghanistan on a map because they think of themselves as members of their tribal group (Pashtun, etc). We can make headway in Kabul and Kandahar, maybe hopefully get the ANA and ANP up to snuff to hold those... but the tribal lands will still be the same as ever when we go.
Bobbie heads? really? These are Canadians. Not brits. Go back to school you fucking uneducated, no health care piece of shit american. oh and by the way, enjoy your evening, peace and love to your family. i apologize for my rant. hahaha! you bitch! i hope your economy bucks up soon. Canada rules you, wake up and realize it.
@fipfapfallywap Are you kidding me? The Americans are our brothers and yet you say we rule them? We are all on the same side here and until the day comes and you stand and fight next to a US.Marine or a American soldier you will understand they are the real deal and I am glad they are our friends.. Now lets look at facts, you talk about their economy? yes they are having hard times but will make it.. you talk about their health care? they have some of the best in the world..
@KevyBProductions Probably more afraid of us because we hit the enemies more often unlike the yanks. Can't shoot straight and when they can it's at their friends. The first casualties we got from Afghanistan were from US friendly fire, and they weren't the last.
@jacoalex1111 Dude. We have 1200 men there and we have lost over 150 of them now. They have like 70,000 there. 1200 Canadian soldiers have done way more fighting than the average 1200 american soldiers.
was that 6pl?? hmmm must have the rotation wrong...so where is the other vid that showes where that RPG from the west was comming from??? was it from teh Well area that the ANA always went too?
