Prejudice? no. Anger? fk yeah. I’m a Canadian citizen and this busines of you fking self righteous aholes decide to insult our country with your ignorance. Saying it was bad timing and unforunate is all well and good. Too bad for you, that you have proved yourselves as hypocratic bastards in the past. Lets just take Semptember 11 as a perfect example. The destruction of the two towers was an unfortunate incident and your anger for what has been done is understanable. But you meddling sh*ts have been doing the same thing to them for decades. So dont get all indignant when the tables are turned for a change. fk you, Canada rules!

to much of canada has brainless idiots like this…a war will happen in the next 50 years.

Nothin’ wrong with a little patriotism, Horten!

yay?

The US and Canada can’t go to war. Where will all the US draft dodgers hide???

Socorro! Socorro! Necesito burrito y taco!

It is mindless nationalism that starts arguments like this. Canada is great. The U.S. is great. They both have things to work on that can improve them but there is no need to cause such a strife over an accident. War makes you think differently. I know that if I were patroling and heard gun shots that weren’t my platoon, I would fire back. Sometimes you don’t have time to evaluate a situation and respond appropriatly. Although the only thing that is timeless is time itself, it can either work for you or against you. This is an example of against you.

Seems like the issue with friendly fire is that it has always occurred. My grandfather is a WWII veteran who fought in Iwo Jima. His Marine Corps Division was always harrassed by the Navy bombers! The air groups couldn’t believe the infantry would advance so quickly and assumed they were Japanese. His C.O. at one point had to lay a large US flag on the ground to stop his men from getting killed…

Keep in mind, at least if you believe our government, almost all the casualties in Afganistan to US soldiers was the result of friendly fire.

Ill keep it in mind but I don’t believe them.

Exactly my feeling. I can’t believe all but 1 or 2 casualties over there were friendly fire. The Government is trying to paint US soldiers as invinceable.

Why does the government lie to us even though they probably know we know they are lieing. I can see how they might want to keep a specific project top secret like an airplane or something, but that pisses me off how they lie about the simple things in life like a casualty report.

Why does the government keep saying Delta Force doesn’t exist when we all know they do? The Government likes to keep secrets.

I have no clue what delta force is, so clue me in.

The Most elite troops in the army. Think Army Rangers x10.

What reason do they have to lie about that to the american people?

We are all humans. We all do dirty work we don’t want other people to know about; but somehow it comes up. The government should just tell us about things that aren’t really that secret. If we know about the delta force, what will happen? Will we riot? I honestly don’t think so, but history is full of suprises.

that is enough government bashing!

The reason they lie about casualties is so the people don’t lose support for the war.

(i know i promised no more posts - this is strictly informative) . . .
an interim report demonstrated that the Canadians “played it by the book” in the friendly fire incident in Afghanistan.
