Before you start saying Canada did nothing,let me tell you while you American were staying home we were fighting to protect wimpy french,for WWI America got involved in the last year it was an easy victory the German soldier were tired

I don't give a shit about WWI. WWI was a temper-tantrum that Europe felt the need to drag other parts of the world into and accomplished nothing. WWII, we did end. And I didn't mean to imply that Canada did nothing. I'm just saying it's absolutely ludicrous to imply that America somehow gave a half-assed effort in WWII just because we didn't enter into it earlier.

I could ask the same about Canada, the answer would be none. Countries don't enter wars when its not in there own interest.

None. I'm not going to lie to you. That doesn't discount the fact the we ended WWII. We believe that the purpose of the American military is to act first and foremost in the interest of Americans. I guess you Canadians are above such selfishness.

I'd say the USA didn't end the war in the pacific.

Are you nuts? Do you think Japan just pulled back its military and decided to stop voluntarily?

They kept Britain alive in WW2 by boosting their fleet size by several orders of magnitude to protect the convoys while America was still sitting on its hands.

Actually...It could be argued that Russia did help to end WW2. Or rather made us do it before Japan even surrendered. hell Japan had entered into surrendur negotiations bofore we droped the nuke on Hiroshima.

We dropped it, to keep Russia from being a party in the surrender, and to test our new weapon and give the civilians the vengence they wanted.

How was ww1 and ww2 in Canada's interests? They weren't, but who were generally amongst the first to the front?

And who was uniformly the last?

Japan was screwed the moment she attacked the US, she defeated herself.

I'd say the USA didn't end the war in the pacific.

The dropping of nukes inflamed world tensions more.

Besides, all anyone needed to do to defeat Japan would be to side step the majority of the islands that were taken, and just bomb Japan and blockade the Home Islands.

You're a God damned idiot. How exactly was someone supposed to blockade the Home Islands if the Japanese Navy wasn't busy rusting on the bottom of the ocean, thanks to the United States?

Korean War, all UN peace keeping missions.

The defeat of Britain would hurt Canada quite a bit.

A thousand apologies for not blindly following England into continental pissing contests that either 1) were for no purpose whatsoever, or, 2) the results of a cowardly British diplomatic surrender.

Why Red, isn't it clear to you? Canada could have done it!

The Canadian contribute to the Battle of the Atlantic was important, but hardly decisive. The Germans only had sufficent resources to have a chance of sinking the required amount of tonnage, AFTER America had already entered the war and built hundreds of escorts, CVE's and vast fleets of merchant shipping.

Oh, for fuck's sake, will you spoilsports please shut the fuck up?

You've turned what was a harmless, amusing little joke article into yet another goddamned Canada vs US bullshit attack. Look back and see where Durran Korr started this by getting all fucking whiny about a joke that most of his countrymen laughed at, and goading Ted into joining his shit-fest. GROW THE FUCK UP.

You truly are an idiot. Name a nation other then the US that could destroy the air forces and fleets of Japan and then sustain such a blockade. Guess what? ONLY the US could do so.

The hell? I just said that the implication trying to be made was a little unfair. That isn't a shit-fest.

Indeed they did. They rolled over much the Wehrmacht and started crushing the Imperial Japanese Army in Manchuria.

Or rather made us do it before Japan even surrendered. hell Japan had entered into surrendur negotiations bofore we droped the nuke on Hiroshima.

Negotiations, yes, but those unacceptable to the Allies, which demanded unconditional surrender. This had been broadcast to the Japanese government earlier.

We dropped it, to keep Russia from being a party in the surrender, and to test our new weapon and give the civilians the vengence they wanted.

Our weapon had already been tested. Trinity, anyone? As for vengeance, no (we already flattened many cities and killed hundreds of thousands, over time, wasn't that enough?). It was intended as a shock weapon to force the Japanese to the table.
