Canadians Prepared to Go to War Against America to Defend Independence from Trump: 'Just Say When'

[SmarterthanYou]

I guess Smarty has his own reality. In our reality, if you want a huge number of veterans, you draft people. The draft ended over half a century ago, so the really huge number of veterans are dying out. In fact, WWII veterans are almost gone, almost all being over 100. The WWI veterans are all gone. The majority of the Korean War veterans are gone. The Vietnam War Era veterans are dying out.


Odd how almost all combat soldiers carry rifles rather than handguns.


Almost all guns are officially registered at one point. If you lose your registration on a fully automatic gun, you have lost a very expensive thing indeed.

It is extremely rare for a fully automatic gun to be found.

the math isn't working out..........majority of veterans are over 75??????? I am around veterans on an almost daily basis and only one of them is over 75.

that rifle is nearly useless in CQC............each weapon has it's benefits

proof that you know next to nothing about guns. It's almost too easy to turn my AR in to an auto with a simple piece of metal.

The draft ended 52 years ago. That was the end of drafting broad sections of American society. Even then, it was not like the WWII draft where everyone in reasonable health was taken. After 1972, the fewer veterans were used in smaller wars, but over and over again. There are veterans who spent 7 or 8 years in combat, which was almost impossible for previous veterans.

If you lived in a Black neighborhood, you could tell us that you are around Americans on a daily basis, and all of them are Black. Would that mean that all Americans are Black?

I am beginning to wonder if you really know any veterans, but being charitable, and saying you do, you obviously do not know a good cross section of veterans.

If you are fighting in close quarters combat, then you have failed. But even there, rifles can have bayonets. A bayonet turns a rifle into a pike, or even a sword. And if nothing else, you can hit someone over the head with a rifle.

There is a reason that most combat soldiers are not issued handguns. They are not the preferred weapon in almost any type of combat. The major good feature of a handgun is ease of carrying, but that is less important if you know you are going into combat.

if you want to narrow it down to combat veterans only, your math still fails. we have millions volunteer for the first gulf war as well as the second.

I'm a veteran. of course I know other veterans.

In case you hadn't noticed, but the last couple of wars have taken place in a lot of urban areas where close quarters combat is kind of necessary.

you should really stop commenting on subjects that you know nothing about.

As Trump is credited with the removal of Trudeau.... who most Canadians are happy to have gone.

How feckless politicians like Newscum and Trudeau remain in power is a testimony to people not standing up to their bullshit. Canada is awakening and California is experiencing the failures of their elected officials.
Let's hope the trump effect will open more eyes.

BTW, I love Bowel Woman who is passing out a lot of finger emojis in a silly attempt to ruin your "stats", whatever they are. Be afraid, be very afraid.
