American army vs. canadian army

Let me be like you...

YOU DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT SOMALIA DO YOU

No but seriously, you don't. We didn't lose 19 of our own guys on a peacekeeping mission. It was an attack to reduce power of the warlord Mohammad Adid. Who in turn was found out to not be the "bad guy" in the Somalia course of violence. Somalia had good intentions, but we royally fucked that country up when we "peace kept" in it. It's still fucked up today because of our political intervention during Clinton's term.

Rwanada was a much larger than any recent US affirmative action. We are talking almost a million people dead in the course of 9 months. The US wouldn't have been able to do much either because of the difficulty of the situation. It was many individual groups slaughtering one another. There was no one "enemy" to be identified. The US would have struggled just as much as Canada. At least Canada tried (barley) while the UN and the US sat back and watched one of the worst genocides the world has ever seen. To this day you don't learn about it in school or see it on the news. It's pathetic.
 
You realize there are far more people in the US right?

You sound like Bush when you use the term "good guys". Both sides of this war have made several "bad guy" moves.
 
That comparison was soooo horrible. You cannot compare a full scale war like WW2 to the present Iraq conflict. That's just downright absurd.
 
That makes sense..kill em all tex!

We knew they had WMD's...we funded and sold them some.

Please where is Rumsfeild's justification? I have yet to see any.

Like I said before saying hippie liberal and all this shit makes you look like a moron. You're very stubborn in your views and I hope the kids on this site can see that too. I hope one day you can learn to use that thing called a brain to the full extent.
 
dear god...

Shut%20the%20fuck%20up.bmp

 
lol....you always have soo many valid points Mitch, always fun to watch you own these kids.

I would say that this thread is SUPER useless. We are in different wars, equiped differently, different tactics.

Canadian ground troops are actually better equiped then most american forces. With new money infused the canadian millitary ground forces now uses Mercedies Benz G wagons. Although our navy, and airforces are still using outdated equipment. Our training programs are second to none. Our pilots are some of the best in the world.

But the American armed forces have Billions of dollars, and tons of people to back them.

In the end we schould hope not to use our millitaries for anything. And to the people telling us that peacekeeping is shit.....it is better to peacekeep, then police.
 
"Allied intelligence failed to realize that the relatively low-quality 716th Infantry Division (static) had been replaced by the 352nd a few days before the invasion. Omaha was also the most heavily fortified beach, and the pre-landing aerial and naval bombardment of the bunkers proved to be ineffective."

yet again you are wrong holy shit

not to mention that 2/3 of the airborne soldiers dropped in the previous night were american, the other third was british, and without the americans the war would have but lost by the allies, but you know the americans didn't do any good in world war two the u.s. took omaha, utah and pointe du hoc, three beaches btw
 
What i was trying to say was that not a single other nation legally uses the weapons we use. Every single weapon used by the MILITARY of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is under contract to be under the sole use of America and its registered civilians by contract (or strongly allied NATO countries). That said, what you thought about our "arms dealers" dealing our "arms" to rogue nations is flat out wrong. What you said is the source where we get our guns also sells them to small countries for a lower price. THIS IS FLAT OUT WRONG.

Let me explain:

For example, probably the most well known gun is the m16. This is produced by the American gun manufacturer, Colt which is located in Hartford Connecticut. Every single Colt m4a1/m16 is engraved with this in large letters on the left side of the lower receiver on the magwell:

PROPERTY

OF US GOVT.

M4A1 CARBINE

CAL 5.56 MM.

*serial number*

I have one i would know.

Colt is under contract to sell these to America and only America. Certain very priveleged and registered civilians can purchase them too but at a very high price with automatic disabled. The US government allowed Canada to purchase these weapons after much begging but wouldn't allow them to have them directly. Therefore, Canada has the c7. Thus this is a prime example of how every weapon we source cannot be sourced to small African countries.

The same goes for every other gun we own by the gun manufacturers i listed.

Exceptions:

The few joint-NATO weapons are:

Heckler and Koch mp5 series (which america is phasing out anyway)

 
Israel is all that needs to be said.

Weapons aren't just guns my friend.

They are helicopters, planes, tanks etc.
 
Israel uses non contracted left overs from vietnam. we contractually gave them ours through CONTRACTS THROUGH THE GOVERNMENT. nicholas cage didnt go over on a boat filled with colt xm177e2s and f4 fighter planes. It was through treaty that we gave them those. We do not give african nations such expensive weapons outdated or not.
 
omg, you have no idea what youre opening up here! We were on a peacekeeping mission. WE attacked mohammad ferrah aidid because he was withholding UN food aid and the country of somolia was being impoverished. A TIME article featured this and soon the liberl counterculture of america called for action. We sent in 30,000 Marines along with pakistanis but they kept being ambushed by somolians. Thus we sent in our best to try to capture aidid and his regime. It was extremely royally fucked before we got there, we tried to arrest a war lord and his militia destroyed the bakara market of mogidishu not us. They royally fucked themselves. I'll read you the minutes of the mission if you want.
 
dont diss your army kid. i would much rather a small army that never goes and bombs countries for no reason, than the greatest army in the world that creates senseless wars and causes deaths world wide
 
Ya know, something dawned on me. So I ran to the searchbar and discovered NS has never had the plane on a treadmill thread, so my attempt at a funny was futile.

Likely nearly as futile as all your bickering over something as completely and utterly pointless as comparing two co-existing nations military's penis sizes.
 
youre an absolute idiot.

You have very obviously not read a single one of my posts.

Canadian ground troops are not acutally better equiped than most of us. This is because we DONT USE DIFFERENT TACTICS GEAR AND TRAINING! You guys adapt less good versions of our stuff and training/tactics. You guys took our ARMY Special Forces group training course and tactics to use for yourself. You use our C7. Everything you guys equip yourself is either a 5 year old version of our stuff, or an equivalent knock off. For example, the most basic peice of agear on a soldier is their camo. Most of you canadians dont know the camo you use. It is called CADPAT. CADPAT WAS DEVELOPED IN NATICK MASSACHUSETTS AT THE NATICK ARMY RESEARCH CENTER

It looks like this:

CADPAT_canadian_design.jpg


It was developed maybe 2 or 3 years after the Marines developed MARPAT which looks like this:

marpat.jpg


A few subtle differences but very obviously a copy.

Next on the chopping block The standard Canadian troop vs the Standard US troop:

Canadian:

tacvest.jpg


Here you have CADPAT and a Blackhawk industries web gear vest. These are produced in America and used there. We used those between 1992-2000.

Here is a standard US troop:

26f8f678-be00-4c3b-9fda-04a130318474-big.jpg


These Army soldiers have PACA low vis armor plus an Eagle Plate Carrier. This means this soldier has 2 levels of protection. He has 2 ceramic plates for defense against 7.62 and greater rounds and then a soft armor shell to 1 absorb the impact of the ceramic plates so the soldier feels nothing and to protect against shrapnel and .45mm and under rounds.

His plate carrier also has PALS/MOLLE webbing. This is said to be the single most revolutionary invention of the modern warfighter. Every us soldier is equipped with this. A lot of SAS British fighters have it now too. Canada has yet to catch on.
 
I know what youre gonna say. Youre gonna say i chose the lamest manakin pic of your soldiers. Well this is the most Elite soldier you guys have, the Joint Task Force 2 Soldier:

JTF2_01b.jpg


The vest these soldiers are wearing is the IBA (interceptor ballisctic armor). It is issued to US marine "grunts" (aka non Marine FR, MEU). These do not have much PALS/MOLLE webbing and are severly outdated as they lack ceramic plates. Their weapon is the mp5a4, a weapon the US is currently phasing out as it shoots dinky 9mm rounds. They are also using outdated US made PASGT helemts. The US now uses the more advanced MICH 2000 series and IBH helemets. So there you have it, our average soldier is actually more advanced than your most elite.
 
oh ya forgot to mention: in the above pic, theyre wearing Blackhawk web gear over their IBAs. and they are wearing Truspec uniforms, also a product of the USA.
 
You are a huge idiot by the way. How is mitch owning me? I have done nothing but provided concrete facts, pics, and plain examples. All "mitch" has done is employ speculation, his own opinions, false facts which i have again and again disproven, and michael moore inspired double speak.
 
my last couple posts completely covered this thread and it can now be put to rest knowing for a fact our military is far superior to yours in training, tactics, and gear.
 
at least we share on thing in common. Miscratch i too was once a liberal like yourself. Up until that dude sued michael moore for manipulating and misquoting him in farenheit 9/11. That was a lifetime ago. I was a liberal before the iraq war started but have since changed my mind. it happens with age.
 
Man, seriously. Just stop. There is no point, and this thread is completely useless. Noones opinions are being altered and all it is doing is comparing Military penis size and creating division.
 
ya i agree. ive definitively proven that the us military is larger, better equipped and more skilled. But im not putting any meaning behind that. its a simple fact. the thread was started to determine which was better and unless any of you can prove me wrong or actually even rebut against what i have proven as a better current military, then by all means. for now, dont bump this to the 6th page so that ppl can read the final page.
 
yes we get it you have better weapons then us but you have not proven that you have better pilots or ground troups because we do all you have said is "you use a less rigoress training program" you have not givin any facts of this
 
exactly.

please just stop. I've wanted to delete this thread so many times just out of the shear stupidity of the argument. And then when considering what people are saying....my head wants to explode.

seriously...please save us.

And I did get the plane on a treadmill thing. I think it won't take off.
 
I have said repeatedly, your army is trained under nato guidelines, guidlines that are out dated. Your last prime minister announced that the training of your army is a direct "clone" (quoted word) of American training but kept at a "peacekeeping angle" and thus less rigorous. I seriously doubt you realize how much training go into each soldier. You know army infantry are now trained under hollywood conditions to simulate live munitions? Enlisted men must go through book camp, then various schools at bragg. its not so simple joining the military here. I'll get your training course and ours and type them up and then i will show you that our military is far superior. Common sense would tell me that any clone cant be better than the original. Especially if it is kept a "peacekeeping angle." Not that peacekeeping isnt a good thing, thats not generally the military's (not MPs) job.
 
You seriously under estimate america's training. This is natural as youve never seen what goes into forming a fighter pilot here. We have billions of dollars worth of simulators constantly and rigorously training our planes. Ive been to 3 canadian air force bases and they just simply do not train as hard or efficiently as ours. Our planes are also much harder to fly. We have the b2 stealth bomber which has no rear vertical stabilizer nor does it have horizontal stabilizers. Flying a simple wing is very difficult. Also have you ever seen the blue angels perform? They are hands down rated the best airshow pilots in the world. Now if these are retired military pirates, think about how good the non retired ones are.

Our planes are much more advanced. we have (currently):

F-18A/F

F-15 E

F-16

F-5

F-35

F-22

E3

A/C-130

A-10

Harrier (for get number name)

You have:

CT-155

CF-18 (omg, yet another knock-off of an american military product!F-18)

CT-114

CT-156

CC-138

CC-130 (omg not another knock-off!- A/C130)

Also american pilots are trained under AFBMT and later on, more and more advanced schools. and navy pilots are trained under the department of the navy;s NATC. the NATC is a more advanced version of the AFBMT with STOL for aircraft carriers.

Canadian pilots are trained under the NFTC, NATO flying training in Canada. The NFTC was written after the AFBMT of the united states as all of the original planes used in nato were American planes. Then when each country started to develop their own strong modern airforce, they began making NFTXXX's. So they all originate from america's out dated airforce trianing for their own planes. The Canadians ahve since evovled to CFANS which is still less rigorous than AFBMT and lightyears behind NATC.
 
we use the f-18 now, and what air bases have you been to? also the snow birds the candian version of the blue angels i have seen both performe and i wou;d have to say they are on par to each other
 
even if you have the the 18's can't touch the 22 or thee jsf and those planes are still in testing can't wait to see the final product
 
Ive been to

Greenwood

bagotville or w/e

and north bay

for like msueum presentations and w/e.

Snowbirds arent on par, in fact 2 have crashed on american air bases before. 1 at mconnel and i cnat rmember the other.

I already noted you use the f18 which you call the CF-18. You also use the old F-18 not the newly upgraded F-18 Super hornet.

Oh! I completely forgot. You guys are part of NORAD which was started and is commanded by the US. This means you have to train under NORAD guidelines too which are developed by Americans. See? Youve always just been a few steps behind.
 
youre an idiot you didnt read any of my posts. you have no idea what the average training of either soldier is so how would you know? I know both. done.
 
not true at all have you not read shit? british and canadian forces have weaker less intense adaptations of the u.s. training program
 
dude, no its not, this thread actually has substance, compared to the 5 million other threads about whos icon is better. This is one of the best threads i've ever seen on NS as far as people actually typing out long responces rather than lazy one liners trying to be funny.
 
Your total display of lack of intelligence in the Michael Vick thread has made it next to impossible to even remotely consider anything you post as useful conversation.

This thread consists of nothing more than making dick size comparisons between 2 nations military powers which are completely different and have a long history of peace and cooperation between each other.

It's nothing more than patriotic banter between a few select people, and is doing none more than creating division and seperation.
 
hey first of all what he said was surprisingly well received.

This thread consists of making very concrete solid definitive dick size compairsons which is what this thread was meant to do. we want a dick size comparison thread. im sick of the make fun of the guy above yours signature threads.

Its mroe than patriotic banter as at least Mi(Scra)tch, Offthewall10, monkey, and i have provided very solid historical facts, current military tech facts, and interesitng pictures. This has been nothing but an intelligent debate. (sorry if i left anyone out)

this isnt really causing any division if you really look at it. I actually personally have nothing against canada. theyve always been a fairly loyal little brother ; ). If i see Mi(Scra)tch or concept kid on the slopes im not gonna like beat the shit out of them. ill be like sup dude. and if you look closely theres complementing going along with all the name calling.

If you dont like this thread, dont come in here.
 
i also think that we would be on par with your military technolgy if you haddent forced us to shut down the avro arow and force all the enginers and designers working at avro to go to the states. so if you think are military is so bad then consider that its your fault.
 
ya our fault for being so kick ass.

haha jk but really bone up on your NORAD knowledge. If you think that because you agreed to sign the NORAD treaty with us and relinquished command of the RCAF to us is equivalent to us shutting down the avro arrow and forcing all your engineers to come over to us then youre just simply wrong. The avro arrow project began failing before you signed NORAD and the original funders lost interest. Tahts not our fault. Then your conservative president signed NORAD giving us command of the RCAF. We didnt take your engineers. we have our own working in Skunkworks and they are the worlds' best. They arent even that eclectic of a mix. theyre really all american born and american grads as most defense engineers have to be these days.
 
Please read this, and don’t get all uppidy about it. Listen to what I have to say, and think about what it means.

First off, I agree that you are posting far too much in this thread. Secondly, give what other people are saying some consideration. Thirdly, you are getting very defensive and aggressive about the topic. Its no longer a discussion, it has become an argument.

Frankly, it doesn’t matter which army is better. Everyone has their own definition of “better”. Some see it as strength, force, ability, training, arms, population, purpose and size. It doesn’t matter who’s is better.

I find that you are going way, way too much into detail about the topic. Your telling us of different camouflages the “75th Ranger Unit” use, where the Marines train, and how superior the weaponry of the US is to Canada’s. Its doesn’t matter. A gun is a gun, a bomb is a bomb. They all cause the same things-pain, destruction, and MORE conflict.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Current militaries are pointless! There is absolutely no sense in war, fighting, and loss of life. What exactly is the US army doing in Iraq? What is the Canadian Army doing in Afghanistan? NOTHING! There has been civil unrest in the Middle East for thousands of years-and nothing is going to change that. The people there have strong beliefs in their ethics, and a little military power either way is just going to make things change. All that is occurring is despair. This war isn’t helping any side. Its just tearing down hope for millions. Do you realize I haven’t seen my uncle in 3 months, and I will never talk to my cousin again? He died, 22 years old. He didn’t even live a life. Do you know how that feels? To lose someone to something so senseless! And everyday, one more person is going to experience that feeling-the feeling of loss, helplessness, and anger.

If they are fighting against terrorism, I’ve got some news. You cant beat terrorism. Children are raised to hate people, and countries. Once that is their mentality-as sad as that is-there is nothing to change it. it’s the same for many in North America. We are raised to love our country, and in joint-our military. I’ve chosen to hate all militaries. They aren’t accomplishing anything. The only thing that is worth while is to negotiate, and maintain peace without violence.

It doesn’t matter what anyone says. No ones opinions are going to change. You are going to remain loyal to the American forces, as I am going to remain loyal to my principals mentioned above. There will always be politics, ethics, beliefs and patriotism that comes into effect with such a controversial topic. No one is right, and no one is wrong. Your opinion is simply your opinion-nothing more and nothing less. People need to open their eyes and realize the truth- not what you are forced, asked, or fed to think through the media.

As for this thread, it is causing nothing but problems. I get more and more angry for the loss I have experienced with every post. There is nothing glamorous about war, or militaries. All this is doing is causing division among a SKI SITE. We don’t need that. We don’t need this thread.
