As an American who knows my own country’s history…
You have no idea how much I love citing that entire war as an example of how military adventurism can be very bad and stupid, and also an example of / push off point to go into how Canadians tend to significantly punch above their weight in basically all military conflicts they’ve been involved in.
Yeah, sit down GI Joe, lemme tell about the time we got our asses handed to us and lost nearly (or just actually?) every single land campaign of that entire war… to the Canadians.
(Or at least their forebearers, if we must be pedantic.)
Lemme tell ya about how US special forces came about as a collaborative effort of largely US and Canadians sharing notes during/after WW2.
Lemme tell you about how their standard issue infantry weapons are basically no bullshit, more reliable and rugged and practical versions of what we use.
When the Canadian ceases being polite, know that you have fucked up royally.
