The Tank is so big that often dozens of enemy troops get underneath it and use it for cover! Snipers help to take care of those freeloaders.

I was just gonna say that.

Canadian soldiers see 50 terrorists 1000 meters away and snipe 5 or 6 of them while the rest run.

American soldiers spot 50 terrorists, and a grid square gets carpet bombed.

Well, the polar bears and rabid beavers keep evolving into faster, meaner, ever more dangerous adversaries. We've learned it's best to take 'em down at a distance.

May the merciful Vishnu help us if they ever team up on us. :(

They're good at keeping still because they're used to being frozen solid for hours at a time.

Coming from the guy that lives in grand forks.

That's right. I can compliment/insult myself when I make comments on Canada. :D

Luckily I moved away from Minnesota, so I can now make comments and NOT insult myself. :D:p

Yeah, but now you have to watch out for those man-eating jackrabbits...and that killer cacti.

Fixed for truth. A bit of revenge for when your F-16 drivers dropped bombs on Canadian infantry. (Your guys got away scot-free, BTW. No justice.)

If it's so crappy, why is the US buying all the ammo slated for the CF?

It should be worth noting that Friendly Fire incidents happen all the time. The reason "they got way with it", is because its an unfortunate fact of war.

War/Campaign Percent Casualties
World War II 21%
Korea 18%
Vietnam 39%
Persian Gulf 49%

Edit: When I was in Iraq, we had some jumpy Iraqi Police shoot at us by accident all the time. Good thing they weren't good shots.
