A welcome gesture after US pilot slapped on wrist for disobeying orders
and killing Canadian soldiers.
The 187th Infantry Regiment out of Fort Campbell Ky.. showed class by
honouring Canadians partnered with their unit.

Don, the Canadians had a military unit (maybe a brigade) in Germany while I was
there. I worked with them every time we had a Reforger Exercise (annually), and
worked with the staff in the buildup to the exercise.

There was *always* a great camaraderie between our forces! One of my best
motorcycle buddies was a Canadian. We took a trip from Stuttgart to Stockholm
together, went to rallies all over Europe together, and got horribly polluted
together.

Don't *even* let one incident let you think their is some kind of animosity
between Canadian and US military forces. What you are seeing and hearing is
anti-Bush rhetoric.

So are you saying that the Canadian military personnel think
differently than the rest of the Canadians? Because in poll after poll
after poll, it's been shown that Canadian's animosity of the U.S. is
growing under Bush's watch. They percieve us as bullish, and arrogant.

There, Don. See what I mean?

The post above was written by someone who has probably never associated with a
member of the Canadian military.

Really? Quite the contrary. I've known quite a few. Growing up in
western NY, lived in Niagara Falls for awhile, met some there, and knew
quite a few Canadian military skydivers that used to come to FL where I
lived to compete in the Easter Boogy, and Turkey Shoot each year. Also,
if you read the reply, you'd know that it really doesn't matter. What
I've asked is, do you think that the Canadian military personnel are
somehow different in their beliefs, and ideas than the average civilian
Canadian? How so?

Now we see why they *perceive* us the way they do. Stay home!

I think there's just something about the national mood up that way. They
know what's important. Years ago, before 9/11, I was crossing the border at
Niagara, with 2 fishing buddies. The Canadian customs guy asked me the
purpose of our visit. I told him the truth: "We're coming to drink all your
beer, catch all your fish, and steal all your pretty women". The guy said
"Well...save me a little of each, and have a nice visit."

That sounds like 'em!

Try that in France!
