    I think Canadians are envious of the film A Bridge Too Far, which highlights Americans and the Brits and the exploits that they made in the Netherlands.

    These fucks came into the war at the end, and think they sacrificed the most. Canadians were there all along and liberated most of the country before the US even got around to pulling their heads out of their asses.

      Yes, but the hardcore Wanna-be American Badasses don’t bring up The Russians did most of the fighting, and lost millions and millions of men.

      Not defending Russia today, I’m not a tankie, but just acknowledging they fought, and fought hard, for a long time in WW2.

        The Eastern Front was brutal, to ignore it as a major part of the war spits on the graves of a truly staggering amount of dead soldiers.
