Do you think the basic Canadian Infantryman has the skill set of the US 75th Ranger Regt?

I have never worked with Canadian Infantry so I would not know but, I would say that would be a bit of an overstatement. What I don't get is how in the same thread the US is a bunch of war mongering savages taking over countries left and right but your basic Canadian infantryman is really as good or better than one of the most elite American units? How is that?

From reading this thread it seems the US military is being underestimated and the prowess of the EU, Iran, and especially North Korea and China are way over the top. Looks like wishful thinking.
