Good one, Ok I Get It! You really fixed my post well, while not actually contributing anything yourself. Your mindless patriotism is how some of these wars started. Look at the two World Wars. If you think Great Britains' (and vicariously, Canada's) motives were altruistic in either war you need to give your head a shake. I wont even talk about WWI because our entry into that war is so ridiculous it boggles the mind (mostly due to a petty uncle-nephew rivalry, and a naval arms race), but Britain's ness afterwards was truly remarkable and directly led to World War 2. In that conflict we declared war on Germany not because Hitler was killing Jews, but because he invaded Poland. We actually turned boat loads of Jews away from our shores, and what do you think happened to them? Now in hindsight maybe we were on the slightly less evil side, but if you look at the actions of our allies its very debatable. Just wikipedia "war rape" and find out how many rapes were commited by our friends in 1945. And yeah, Canadians liberated Holland, but only because America and Great Britain were to busy carpet bombing every major city in Germany.
Now maybe you people have bought ino the propaganda, but I haven't. The days of the nation-sate are ending and people 200 years from now will laugh at us for sending troops to their death in wars thousands of miles away, in the name of king and country, and then wearing little flowers to "remember the dead". If it was so crappy fighting Germany then why did they volunteer?
