our army since world war one has progressively decreased because a) lack of funding b)willingness to minimize it because our roll in the world has changed greatly
now that we're wanting to maximize it again (because its too small) we're having some trouble. we totally kicked *** at dieppe, and we had a goddamn lot of people killed on d-day in general. some of the best airforce people in the royal somethin force, i forget history was two years ago for me..but anyway the RAF i believe, were canadian, because our farm boys as people like to joke, had insane practice on the land we have. i dont mind the jokes about our current state of military, coz its true. however this topic was about WWII involvement and the comments by like Kieran horn n etc are not appreciated. one of the reasons our military has been cut so short *gasp* might be because the whole world isnt out to get us.
its the empire branch off countries (canada, aussieland

etc), britain itself,germany and france taht know what really went on in the trenches. id like to see a movie like that made from the canadian perspective coz we had like a million people army, and it seems crazy small to you now but compared to how little our population was back then (you think we're little now:P), it was a giant chunk or our pop. so..we gave a lot up for wwi, thus causing us to reduce our numbers in ww2, none the less like 60000 canadian casualities/deaths (i cant remember from grade 10 history) but either way. after wwi, we were the third largest military power in the world so stick that in your pipe and smoke it
