Correction: Ann Coulter Does Not Get Owned! See info bar-

Intelligent comments are welcomed. TROLLS AND HATERS will be blocked and removed. If you're just coming to slam Ann Coulter, go away.
I get so tired of having to clarify the same point over and over again. Now that I've proven that Canada did send troops to Vietnam, the trolls keep wanting to bring up the same tired combat-noncombat argument. CANADA DID SEND TROOPS TO VIETNAM! Whether they were there for combat or noncombat. They were there! Now get over it!

YouTube user Kruger97 posted this video and titled it "Ann Coulter Gets Owned". Since I hate lies, I downloaded the video and re-uploaded it. This time without comments disabled. It was also uploaded by a user named "elmurray", also attempting to discredit Coulter.
In the video, Ann Coulter speaks of Canada sending troops to Viet Nam. The interviewer says that Canada did not send troops to Viet Nam when in fact they did.
From Wikipedia: (I know wikipedia is not a credible source) Despite the repeated denials by CBC's interviewer, Canada did send troops to Vietnam. The facts are well-documented and beyond dispute. The interviewer, Bob McKeown, constantly repeats his assertions, but no other source supports them. These facts contradict him: * 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. * 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. * Many official Canadian government documents about the International Control Commission for Vietnam (a mixture of Canadian troops and Canadian civilians) are available on the Internet and elsewhere.

Canadian military personnel who died while in Vietnam or other parts of Indochina include: * Sergeant James S. BYRNE, CD, Royal Canadian Army Service Corps. Died 18 Oct 1965. His body was not recovered. * Corporal Vernon J. PERKINS, Royal Highland Regiment of Canada (Black Watch). Died 18 Oct 1965. His body was not recovered. * Leading Seaman Ned W. MEMNOOK, HMCS TERRA NOVA. Died 15 Mar 1973. He was posthumously awarded the Special Service Medal & "PEACE" Clasp * Captain Charles E. LAVIOLETTE, CD, 12e Regiment Blinde du Canada. Died 7 Apr 1973.

Whether Canada sent its troops to Vietnam or not, Canada does not have to remain US's royal friend when Canadian people feel that they can't support what the US is doing.

Most people would ask themselves a question, "Did I do anything wrong to lose his/her friendship?" when their former best friend has become critical about them.

But Ann Coulter kind of people won't ask the question and concludes, "My friend has become jealous of me, because I'm always right, good and beautiful."

Quite true: CBC has called it 'Canada's Secret War'

Canada was officially a non-belligerent and had troops to preserve the southern regions after 1954.

On this topic, the Vietnam War isn't something we should be arguing over at all.

Both Canada and the United States, along with the West, attempted to preserve the south of Vietnam from a communist assault.

It was an honourable attempt, and there is a large Vietnamese diaspora that is thankful for the years spent to preserve Saigon.

I appreciate the points you make.

However, I think perhaps the source of your disagreement is semantic rather than historic, and furthered by lack of context.

I watched the original tv show.

Coulter brought up Vietnam in her criticism of the Canadian government for not sending combat troops to fight in Iraq.

To be fair, the troops Canada sent in '54 and then to keep the Paris Accord did not meet the kind of hostility that coalition forces met in Iraq...

@101Pilgrim - Which is short for you're boring me and you make no sense. You're starting to cross the line between intelligent comment and being a troll/hater. Actually those who would argue that Canada didn't send troops would be nit picking a technicality. And yes, it is a touch pathetic. Bye now.

[101Pilgrim]

@NAGGERNUTZ Which is short for, "I can't defend my own source base."

There's a reason rational people have a hard time understanding irrational conservatives. Too much cognitive dissonance I suppose.

I'll feel better when you be the bigger man and admit when there's a problem, instead of running and circles and trying to be right on such an inane issue as a technicality. It's actually a touch pathetic.

[NAGGERNUTZ]

@101Pilgrim - OK, goodbye. Have a nice day. I'm tired of beating a dead horse. Feel better now? Good. Canada still sent troops to Vietnam.

[101Pilgrim]

@NAGGERNUTZ "Intelligent comments are welcomed."

Made one. You decided to go off topic. The evidence is clearly not all over the internet; you chose sources that I've called into question, and instead of being the good little boy and discussing them and attempting to show their credibility, you've run in circles and attempted to get around the fact that someone is informing you that your sources are bo schitt.

I don't need to make fun of Coulter. She does a good enough job herself.

[NAGGERNUTZ]

@101Pilgrim - Read the first 2 lines of the video description. I'm tired of this nit picking. The evidence is all over the internet. Please be my guest and go read. If all you want to do is slam Ann Coulter, I'd respect you a whole lot more if you'd just do it and get it over with.

[101Pilgrim]

@NAGGERNUTZ I didn't ask a question. Therefore no answers. The word you were looking for is "response." Additionally, I made no argument. I simply said yours is incomplete. I'm still in a defacto position because the evidence I brought to question is incomplete. When I brought this to your attention, you went on a smear campaign, changed the subject and appealed to ethos.One more time: address the issue I raised with your source base.

Also, I'll stay. Unless you'd like to move me like a fascist.

[NAGGERNUTZ]

@101Pilgrim - Yawn! Are you back again? Look, if you don't like my answers, you're free to go. You have my permission. You don't like my answers therefore you're right and I'm wrong doesn't make it either Skippy. I refuse to lay down and accept your all knowing opinions. This is going nowhere, but you should go somewhere other than here.
