Why does every country argue about which army is beter each has its pros and cons so unless were fighting each other quit arguing

[asdfgamlin]

A lot of people died to preserve freedom, only fools argue which country has superior military forces.

R.I.P. George A.

[DarkStarHarry]

The real-life protagonist in this song, "George A" , passed away Oct. 24, 2011.

I was looking for a 'head in the sand' video to make a political point on facebook and came upon this video... which could make the point well today on the lead and bleed of greed that fabricates fear to keep feeding wealth into the industrial military complex which 'has' taken over the US. We no longer are citizens with Constitutional Rights. The news today 10/15/11 is saying China is digging tunnels under the earth to hide nuclear military ambitions so we can't cut our huge military budget.

@SavageSquaw We Dutch know that with the liberation of our country back in '44-'45 a lot of Canadians were involved. Actually when thinking of the liberation, we specifically think of the canadians as our liberators alongside the British and the Americans. That Canada's only got twice as many inhabitants as the Netherlands makes that fact even more stunning. So I guess making jokes about that isn't really appropriate.

listen i use to think the us had the best army but then i learned that it doesnt matter size of you armie or you technologie or your train it falls on how well your men can handle it and how mentaly fit they are and how much honor bravery how much there willing to give and how far there willing to go and how much spirit and drive they have to win

@XxFalconatorxX nah my army is better then yours! lol :P

[donmac55]

@SavageSquaw Tell that to the hundreds of Canadians that died in Afghanistan. We fought and bled with the Americans accomplishing whatever the fuck we're supposed to accomplish over there. Just cause there's less of us doesn't mean we can't blow away insurgents in a more efficient manner and be polite about it.

The Canadians have an army? Never could have guessed

[xBaitMyScenex]

Brilliant song.

I'm Canadian and I am eternally grateful for all what the U.S has done.

I wish the Canadian army would pull it together. Sure it may not be economically viable but I assume the Russians will be planning to attack the Canadian north for the land that surfaces once the ice melts for oil reserves.
