Garand and sonar? I guess Canadians are masters of ping
One ping only, Vasily, eh?
Conspicuously absent from this list are Leo Major and about two thirds of the Geneva Suggestions.
Canadians also have multiple wins against the USA, which is pretty unique.
Hey, we were on the back-to-back all-star world War teams too!
Mr. Garand was moved to America when he was a kid. I feel like it’s a stretch for the canuckians to claim his rifle outright.
Eh we can blame them for Ted Cruz and they get to claim Garand to a degree. Seems a fair trade.
Hey it’s that guy from that Sabaton song!
Didn’t Billy Bishop refuse to honour the Christmas Truce?
A lot of Canadians refused to honour the Christmas truce.
Canadians, on the whole, really dislike war. So, when it happens, they try really hard to get the whole thing over and done with as soon as possible. None of this pissing about with calling time-outs and such. You’re here to kill each other, so bloody well get on with it.
That’s some Midwest shit too.
Friendly, polite, but when shit gets serious the sooner you get to it, the sooner you get through it, no point in dicking around.
Canadians had a vendetta against the germans and refused to even acknowledge their humanity on a whole.
Canadians were the recipients of some of the most brutal german assaults, gas attacks and night raids. As well there was a rumour early in the war that the germans crucified a Canadian in no mans land. Since then all bets were off.
Canadian soldiers used to throw tins of food into German trenches during quiet periods then when the calls came for more they would throw grenades instead. Ensuring they killed as many Germans as possible.
Canadians also perfected night stealth raids where they would sneak into German lines and cut the throats of every other man. Leaving the Germans to wake up to their numbers decimated without a sign of the enemy.
At one conference at the Hague the Germans promised to stop using gas weapons if the Canadians agreed to stop using birdshot in their shotguns and the Canadians said no.
Canadians really don’t do war kindly.
you would either enjoy, or have already read, this book.
I think I would! Thank you for the recommendation.
Have I misjudged them all this time…?
Aren’t the LAV and Stryker based on the Swiss MOWAG Piranha?
Based on, but the designs have deviated pretty heavily at this point.
