American army vs. canadian army

Refer back to my saying that canada isnt iconic of the west, and therfore is targeted less. Refer back to my spearhead analogy. Also, Kim Jong wouldnt attack you first because a much jucier target (US soil) is alaska and thats closer than canada.

Second, The people of north korea are impoverished not because they need help or understanding, but because kim jong il is a "president" (aka dictator) or a rogue communist nation and puts all spending into military tech and military demonstrations/displays of might.
 
Ok look, you're a somewhat smart kid, but you gotta cut out the hippe liberal fucking neoliberal hippe bandwagon name calling It makes you sound like a fucking redneck moron. Just state facts, when you start throwing in all this anti-liberal shit it takes away from your credibility.

Its' true. Our "war on terror" IS adding fuel to the fire. It's causing more and more war. I'll say that to any soldier and I'd hope they would agree with me, if not they are a blind dumbass. When kids grow up with shooting in their neighborhood and bombs going off. It's very easy to point the finger at Americans because we are the ones in their backyard. You see, we jump into things way too fast. We never anticipate correctly and we probably won't for a long time. Every war we have under anticipated. Vietnam, Korea, etc. What you said about the Tonkin bay hasn't been proven. Nobody really knows for sure. You need to get a better clue about the start of the Vietnam war too. We were practically chanting kill the commies when it started.

The first Gulf War would have never happened if we didn't supply Iraq against Iran. After the war they had so many US provided and funded weapons that Kuwait was a gold mine with a sleeping guard with a muzzel loader protecting the boarder.

Canada is a marvelous country and has prospered very well. It has a very good average lifestyle and most people there are happy with the country. There is absolutely no need to bash it as a country.

"We stick our noses in peoples business 1 because they fly planes into our sky scrapers, and 2 because it is expected of us either expressed directly or indirectly."

You really ruined a halfway decent post with this. It shows you have no understanding of what led up to planes hitting our towers...us sticking our noses in other people's business! It's a death cycle my friend and we started it.

Then you say we are all retarded. Go read books on Middle Eastern conflicts in the 40's 50's and 60's. It will really give you a better understanding of why everything is happening and why "terrorism" is not a win or lose thing.

 
I never once said why the people of North Korea were impoverished. I just said they were. You completely just stuck words in my mouth.
 
finally someone with enough to sense to bend them around. First of all i need the name calling. The liberal bullshit is the bandwagon, not super AMERICA lovin'. Plus i like it. It gives me "voice" and shows i know this stuff and im not just grabbin it off wikipedia or something.

Just because our war on terror is causing more war doesnt mean terror should go unpunished. Thats the worst argument there is. Theres 2 solutions, let terror win and let it continue unhindered until we give into their demands or at least somewhat try to fight it. Bombs go off in parts in the middle east without us there. Take for example Hezbolah vs. Israel in august 2006. WE had nothing to do with that and still they fight. They fought before Israel was a country. Its all religious fundamentalism and you can't change that by being nice to them. I mean we were nice to both iraq and afghanistan but then they had to go bomb our 2 embassies in Africa and then the USS Cole in the port of yemen. Those were 2 very relatively unprovoked attacks.

Just because we supply one country doesnt give them the right to invade another. That is the worst argument ive ever heard. If i give $500 bucks to johnny and bobby comes over and beats him up and takes it, is it my fault for giving johnny $500?

Im not here to bash canada, only to defend America from haters both foreign and domestic. lol sounds like the marine oath.

If you think it is us who caused them to fly planes into the world trade centers directly, you are sadly mistaken. The normal liberal mindset is that we helped in the creation of israel and thus they all hate us for supporting a Jewish country in the Gazah strip. First there is no fault in that, would you not help poor little Kyle Baron-Cohen-Gold from getting beat up by a gang of Mohameds and Oblamos? AS a super power it is our responsibility to not let poor little countries just die... Next, it is driven into 18 year old islamic radicals minds that we are bad for no other reason than because we 1. support israel, and 2. love freedom and sexual equality. Think about how trendy and brainwashed teens can get. Its the same thing with the koran. Take the pushtunese or w/e. They haaattteee americans because we support freedom. This is direct interviewing. Plus most mideasterners bombed us before we ever got a chance to invade them. Take forexample the Ayotolla hostages of iran in the 80's. The 2 African embassies bombed. Madrid. The USS Cole in Yemen. These were before we even knew osama bin laden was a threat!

You, my friend, need to read more. I am very well studied on this subject.
 
That's cool, but it makes you sound very arrogant.

I never said we should "give" in to terror.

Iraq had nothing to do with embassy bombings or the USS Cole, and neither did Afghanistan. Al Qaeda does not represent Afghanistan and we fought the wrong people after 9/11. The Taliban were completely disconnected from Al Qaeda.

I also never said it was ok for Iraq to invade Kuwait. I said it wouldn't have happened if we didn't intervene in the first place. There's no argument, it just wouldn't have happened at least within 20 years or so of that point.

Please don't say the we love freedom and sexual equality thing ever again. They don't hate us because we support freedom. That is utterly moronic to say.

Do you know WHY Iran took hostages? Because we forcefully installed a dictator far worse than Saddam ever was and put them through 25 years of tyranny and oppression. That's why they took hostages. The Shah that was installed by Eisenhower killed more people through unjustified capital punishment than any other Middle Eastern dictator. That was totally and 100% provoked by our wrong doing. The USS cole and embassy bombings were definitely not justified, but we knew very well Osama was a threat. He was under CIA survellience at that point. His organization (the MAK) was just starting to dissolve and again we funded that and the story of him returning to Saudi Arabia is exactly why 9/11 happened.

 
I don't really care how well read you are on the subject because reading is complete bullshit compared to the experiences of people who have lived through the shit you pretend to know so much about. I'm not saying that i'm well read about this subject and I am in no way boasting about shit, i'm just pointing out your flaw of pretending to be the good of historical literature.

I don't understand why American has this mindset that they need to impede on a countries development or lack there of. America was supposed to liberate the oppressed Iraqi's yet the wake they leave is of destruction and fuel lines of destruction. For some reason people believe that our way of life is the way that everyone else wants to live, these countries in the middle east, believe it or not, have been fairly contempt with their own cultures for thousands of years. Now wouldn't you be absolutely pissed if some Muslim extremist regime came to America to release us from our materialistic views? I'd fight back that's for sure, America's problems are problems they created.
 
HAHAHAHA

A joker...

What you Americans take as 'history' is just a glorified version of what you think you did right in the last couple hundred years. Brief, biased, and totally fucked.

I'd love to see you guys take a class on 'basic' american fuckups of the last coupel hundred years.

That could be a 8 year Doctorate program...
 
that is the worlds stuipedist stament ever and off of that i can get into how bad the US school system is you guys only learn about the US you dont know any thing about stuff outside your borders
 
...but the first or second page of that coloring book would read of how the country to your north torched the whitehouse while your great great great grandmomma watched in horror.

and in terms of who raises the better army, it doesn't matter. the israeli army would put both of our countries' forces to shame.
 
They dont want to attack canada because we dont go starting wars and invading countries. You dont see arab children burning a mock Stephen Harper(thats our Prime Minister for you dumbfucks), yet, I see them doing such things to American Flags. Face it, the US stick their noses where they dont belong. If you would take George Bush's dick out of your mouth long enough to breathe you would realize that's true.

The US has a more populated/heavily armed military, but Canadain soldiers have better training.
 
I think what really gets me is the American's patriotism. What do you guys have? When your asked what you are, you say, "I'm American!". If you ask me what I am, I would say, "Im Polish, or I'm Polish-Canadian"

The US is a melting pot. Everyone one is one identity. You never hear of the "Canadian Dream", because there is no "Canadian Dream". Canada is a tossed salad. Honestly, I dont really concidor myself to be a Canadian. I live in Canada, but I wasnt born here. I speak english, but still, I dont feel as if I'm canadain. Truely, I dont think anyone in Canada is "Canadian". We all have unique identies.
 
If you're talking equipment, the Israeli army IS the American army. If you're talking training they have a ridiculous hand to hand fighting mechanism and many other sick training activities.
 
that's bull shit, everyone knows that the u.s. marines are one of the most feared fighting forces in the world. seriously china gets word that canada is going to invade them, i don't think they'd be too worried, they get word the u.s. is going to invade well then they'll just about shit a brick.
 
Why doesn't patriotism make sense to you? It sounds like you hold a fair amount of national pride for Poland, since that's where you're from. If you were from Canada/US/wherever, you'd probably feel more patriotism toward Canada/US/wherever.

As for the "American Dream," it was an idea that began in the 1920s that through hard work, courage and determination you could achieve prosperity. Canadians undoubtedly hold those same ideals (at least judging from my Canadian friends), but since the Canada is smaller than the US in a global sense, the term "Canadian Dream" never became a motto of hard working mentality.
 
holy shit guys, just leave the military who better or not decision to me. The israeli army would crumble under the might of the UNITED STATES MILITARY For 2 reasons. 1 Almost all of their weapons are used american ones. This includes Colt model m7333's, m727 (old ver), m933. These are very outdated armalites. Most do not have the money to buy Rail interface systems so you see lights and shit duct taped to their guns. There are several exceptions: the infamous Desert Eagle .50, the infamous UZI 9mm parabellum, and the new kabbore or w/e on the discovery channel. The Desert Eagle .50 is one of the worst pistols ever with a slow cycle rate and the round itself is too big for urban combat in the first place. The 9mm parabellum is too little to penetrate the ceramic plates found in plate carriers and the PACA low vis soft armor of US soldiers.

2nd, besides equipment, the tactics and training of Israeli soldiers is done by US Army CAG (now it is israel itself but they take tactics from units such as CAG). However, the real deal, better equiped with new Norotos NVG and such, (better armor) as well as ARPAT/ACU/ACUPAT camo plus amazing ballistic helmets such as the IBH or MICH make the US Army CAG or US Army ODA muuuuuchhh more effective. Not to mention we have the US Navy SEALs. The SEALs have a combined kill ratio of 300:1. Beat that. Now if Israelis left the urban environment, it wouldn't even be a competition. The larges caliber/range rifle they use the 7.62 SR25 (due to urban combat). We would jsut simply outrange them with scout snipers or SEAL snipers using SR25s and ghilles, or the m24 socom, or the m700. As for Air superiority i think we already know the answer. As for Naval superiority we know the answer to that as well. But just incase....

Israel currently uses the F-4 phantom jet. This is a jet we used in the korean and vietnam wars. we gave them our shitty old jets. We now have f-18A super hornets, the f-15E super eagles, and the stealth fighter the f117. Bombing wise, we have AC130/C130 (spectre gunships), b52 stratofortress, b2 stealth, b1. As for inserting troops anywhere we have the SOAR troops and the blackhawk and chinook helos. No way would any real countries' military beat the US's.
 
Ummm seeing as how most public school teachers are unionized super liberals... AP history and college history courses are extremely critical of past american events. Our history classes are faaaaaaaar from a "glorified version of what we think we did right" Basically every class teaches you vietnam was a major fuck up so was not entering WWI earlier. At the end of the day its really waht you decide is right.

If you think not being nosy is better than letting poor countries rot and destory themselves then by all means. Sometimes the worst evil is the lack of action from bystanders. If you saw a homeless man bleeding on the street would you not help them?

WE ARE NOT THE ONES LEAVING THE PATH OF DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ. IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING, IT IS THE SUNNIE VS THE SHIITE MUSLIMS WHO DO THAT WITH THEIR FUCKING IEDS. BECAUSE OF HOW I SAID AGAIN AND AGAIN, THEY ARE HATERS DOWN TO THEIR RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALS. That is the perfect example to prove that islamic radicals hate not becuase of any political actions, but merely out of differences in ideology. The Sunnies are fighting the shiites because the head Sah or w/e theyre called signed the so and so accord but inadvertantly also passed bill XXX. NO! THEY FIGHT BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES!
 
Just so you know there are at least 10 countries in Africa that have a far higher death rate due to sectarian violence than Iraq ever had.
 
fuck canada they're all just a bunch of pussy bitches. i hope we nuec the shit out of them casue they suck dick. fuck you faggots
 
canadian soldiers are some of the best trained and best equipped in the world on an individual basis. much better than the americans.

where we are lacking is the billions upon billions of dollars spent on large weaponry ie ships, aircraft, personel carriers etc...

 
what?! are you retarded? did you not read a single one of my posts?! All i talked about was individual training. Cuz the billions of dollars spent on large weaponry and such is such a big difference its not even worth mentioning. but the individual equipment and training of us soldiers vastly, vastly outweighs the training of canadian soldiers. you guys just have to let that fact slide. that your average soldier is nothing compared to our average soldier and that your SF "joint task force 2" and your "427 SOAS" are nothing compared to our Navy SEALs, Army SFOD-D/ 1st SFG, and Marine Force Recon
 
I seriously do not care how well equipped some US soldier is, with the right tactic, an enemy can make all of his weaponry USELESS. Seriously, you act like these US soldiers are full blown superhero aliens from another planet who cannot be killed. I also dont care how badass a soldier is and how much weaponry he has, if he is fighting on foriegn soil, he is probably going to get his ass kicked simply for the fact that he doesnt know the territory as well. Technology cannot save you from everything.

Basically you are just bragging about how the USA WASTES shitloads of money so they can have the coolest gear to fight the Bad guys with. Wow, congratulations, Im sure they could probably do the same with lesser grade weaponry but no they would rather waste tax payers money. Apparently all of that badass weapon shit can be made useless by just setting up an IED or a land mine eh?

If the USA has such a hardcore group of soldiers, why dont we use them instead of sending our barely trained soldiers to Iraq? Are they scared?
 
you might be one of the biggest retards on this whole site. Do you realize that the average American Infantry troop has a kill ratio of approx 23.3:1? That means for every normal Army Infantry that dies, 23 enemies die. This is for the Iraq war alone. In vietname i was around 19:1, 1st gulf war it was like 300:1. Anyway, thats just basic infantry. You have absolute no idea how good the SEALs and Army SFOD-D are because most of their actions are classified under OPSEC and PERSEC. But anyway just to cap a few declassified missions:

Operation Redwing took place in July 2005. This took place in afghanistan. 4 SEALs out of SDV-1, Danny Dietz, Marcus Lutrell, Matt Axelson and Michael Murphy took on a recon mission deep in afgahnistan. Two goathearders approached them, and the SEALs decided to spare them. The goathearders then sold out their posistion to taliban loyalists. The 4 men were soon surrounded by 250+ taliban fighters who were on much higher ground. Marcus Lutrell was the only survivor out of that mission, but all 250 or so initial taliban fighters were killed. Thats foreign soil, and still kicking ass. Each of the 3 soldiers that died suffered at least 2 bullet wounds, matt axelson suffered a bullet wound to a non ballistically sheilded head and still lived long enough to fight some more. That is true heroism underfire. 3 members of SOAR and 16 members of SEAL team 10 also lost their lives that day in a helicopter crash in an attempt to rescue the 4 SDVT1 members.

Seal casualty ratio is around 311:1.

Apart from those killed in afghanistan, only 1 other SEAL has died in iraq and that is Michael Monsoor out of SEAL team 3.

No confirmed Army SFOD-D deaths yet. No ODA deaths. No CAG deaths. In fact the only known SFOD-D deaths happened in the infamous blackhawk down raid.

Anyway, just to give you some perspective of just how kick ass our troops are. Foreign or domestic soil, were vastly superior to any other organized warfare group.
 
this is the stupidest comment on this whole page. WE do use our hardcore group of soldiers you fucking idiot. SEAL team 10 is located in afghanistan, SEAL team 3 is in iraq. You just dont hear about them often because most of their missions undergo OPSEC classification. Tehy are the ones who captured sadam and his sons and theyre the ones who make the big arrests. i hope you run into a soldier one day with your retarded "are they scared" comment.
 
on the other hand, JTF2 and 427th SOAS do nothing in iraq nor afghanistan. They tried to save this hotel called Rowanda or something once. And look at how that turned out...
 
this is wicked dumb too. You realize most of the stuff developed in the past 3-5 years is in response to IEDs that we cant prevent from blowing up because liberal bureaucrats in congress set up the most rediculous Rules of Engagement. take forexample the 3/4" steel? on the new humvees. Better personal armor. etc etc. Our soldiers are left dying due to stupid liberal ROE's and then are scoffed at by the same liberals for dying! Its a vicious cycle started by retarded democrats. now im not saying all democrats are bad, just the retarded ones.

For example, one of the favorite oxymorons of the liberals is "military intelligence." This is ironic because military intelligence comes from the CIA which is a liberal bureaucracy started by Harry S Truman who was also a Democrat. Another idioic hypocracy of liberals is when they complain that southern rednecks dont teach evolution in school. Oh yea thats right! The organization preventing that is the NARPA which is also a liberal /democratic organization! And lastly when you young rebellious teenage liberals complain about taxes, you know youre really complaining about your own political party right? its the liberals who tax, republicans like to minimize taxes.
 
this is also retarded. since when has america relied on canada for intelligence? Do you not realize the CIA is the most powerful intelligence agency in the world? Much better than your CSIS (canadian secret intelligence service)? Second, when have you ever peacekept for us? Do you know our role in iraq right now? Our role in iraq right now is supposedly peace keeping because the sunnis and shiites cant handle not being oppressed by a totalitarian regime. The one time you tried to peacekeep, a hotel with some black dude in it got run over by more black dudes and everyone was bussed out.
 
there will be over 1 million dead iraqis by spring of 2008 if shit keeps going they way it is now. the navy seals you worship so much are trying to change the rules of engagement because of that little story you talked about earlier so they can killed non combatents if they think they are a threat. wonderful. the military accepts morons. i dont respect that. we have the most destructive military in the world but not the best.
 
its very hard to tell a combatant from a noncombatant in afghanistan/iraq. Plus we are giving the discretion to navy seals not your average grunt. And if the iraqis want to violate the geneva convention then so be it, we will just up our ROEs
 
how pretentious it is to think that you, probably some lonely, angry teen knows more than the upper echelons of our government/military. I dont think you for one second can grasp what it takes to be up there and you certainly don't have the IQ for it. so if you kow youre not as smart as these ppl, dont try to compete with them. Second, we aren't jsut destructive... We have the strictest ROEs of any country.

Im going to bold italicize, caps, and underline this because this is important:

DO NOT FORGET, IT IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHO FIRST PROPOSED AND CREATED THE UN, HOSTS THE UN, AND INITIATED THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS!!!
 
oh shut up. the upper echelons of our government? HA. go to a any recruiting office next a any shitty liqour store and ask them. they accept dropouts, they accept moron. i know exactly what you have to do to enlist. and yea im a huge moron. you dont know my age, you dont know my education but because i have a radical opinion im mentaly retarded(which would literally be the next step below what it takes to enlist) again another stupid statement. yea we have the strictest roe of any country, im not sure about that i doubt you are either because there are alot of armies but lets say we do, that doesnt mean shit if the soilder is scared and stupid.
 
oh yea and nato. Don't forget guys if it werent for us, you would be trampled first by germans, then by germans again and the japanese and italians and then by soviet russians!
 
thats a bunch of bullshit.

THE ONLY REASON WE HAVE A GOOD ARMY IS BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT GOES INTO MASSIVE DEBT (which the general public has to pay back eventually somehow) AND BORROWS MONEY FROM CHINA DAILY. That is not respectable at all. We are fighting wars with money we dont even have so we can feel like we are the uber leet people of the world. Seriously give the upper echelon bullshit a break. Killing enemies that have extremely outdated guns is not something to be proud of. You seriously must watch Navy Seals movies all day everyday.
 
yea thats for the average grunt. Those people end up as standard infantry with jobs like hauling 105mm howitzers. oh and trust me i know for a fact our ROEs are the strictest.
 
You aren't dumb per se, more so very very ignorant. True the reason we have a good military is due to spending. However, compared to what other countries spend vs their GDP ours is almost the lowest among modern countries. This is because of 2 reasons: 1 our GDP is the highest in the world and almost triples 2nd place (Japan). 2 A lot of our military is supplied by the private sector with companies such as Eagle Industries, Blackhawk industries, Allied Industries, Crye, and Propper just to name a few. Promoting free trade and offering military contracts cut down on costs, promote competition thereby producing the best product. So really our military spending is spent back into American companies and really, the economy gets boosted when that happens. The debt you are talking about is acutally due to liberal spenders. What you dont understand is liberals and democrats are the ones who don't believe in free trade, and like to expand the government by making rediculous programs such as NARPA CIA FBI. It is these rediculous bureaucracies that really generate a high amount of debt. We do not borrow money from China, i would know, im chinese. We invest in china retard. Plus, china is now almost completely economically dependant on our business now where as we can go to bangladesh, india, taiwan, or the phillipines if we need to outsource.

 
i'll go even further canada gets its tech and gear from all over the world so truly its based on training, leadership, and tactics.
