hahaha yeah the Canadian army is kind of hilarious sometimes because of its smallness. Kind of like the Australian army aswell. I think the problem was that we all fought under the union jack and not our own flags, so Britain gets most of the credit. If history serves me correctly, Canada's major WWI victory was at Vimy Ridge. In WWII our army was deployed wherever the brits were. We also took part in D-day by assaulting Juno beach and maybe another beach I forget. Canadians also fought durring the Korean war. Currently our forces are deployed as part of the "coalition of the willing" deployed in Afghanistan. The only thing I really hear of them doing is being blown up by FF or sniping people, I'm not too sure what they do. So yeah, Canada has an army and we fight wars... we're not just very many (compared to other countries) or even apparent to the general population..... like ninjas I'm impressed with the knowledge of your country's history. Good job WHAT?! Australia has a military as well?! When did this happen?! Er... kinda. After WWII there was a treaty saying that japan could no longer have a military. I believe they can have a basic army or something, but nothing capable of threatening more than a fast food resturant. Otherwise they forfit the contract that says we won't wipe out any more citys using atomic weapons. Only problem is now we have nuclear weapons. The nuclear bomb is rated as 150 atomic bombs rolled into one. USA is the only people to use and atomic bomb in combat, and the nuclear bomb has never been used due to the fact that it clears out large portions of atmosphear with it, as well as causing posining and believed to cause mutation. Not to mention the fact that it's 150x atomics all at once Very scary.
Seriously though, I never heard of that before. I thought Japan didn't have a military either. Like after WWII some peace treaty between USA and Japan had an agreement that USA would protect them. Then I find they do have one!!! LOL OMG, I am so lost. -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW! Damn D-Man - most impressive.

Good job Thanks, I guess... Its not really a very in-depth history... I should actually know more than I do, I'm kind of ashamed that I don't. I think its scary that I know more about Rome than I know about country I live in. -------------------- (\__/) (='.'=) This is bunny.

I think its scary that I know more about Rome than I know about country I live in. Well, you're also talking history too. How long has Rome been in the picture, and how much influence on the planet has Rome had? Now how long has Canada been in the picture, adn how much influence on the world has Canada had? I mean absolutely no offense to Canada, but seriously... -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW! Damn D-Man - most impressive.

I mean absolutely no offense to Canada, but seriously... I guess but its a bit different though. There are newspapers published every day and have been for the past 300 or so years. Before that we would have to wait for someone to write something down. Our knowledge of Roman history is very limited and some works are even questionable. For modern civilization our resource of knowledge is vast and its almost impossible to know the entire history of the country you are in, so I find it kind of surprising when someone would know more about an ancient civilization than their own modern country considering the infinite library of material we can look at and I'm a bit ashamed that with that huge resource, I know more about Rome (and even America) then I know about Canada. -------------------- (\__/) (='.'=) This is bunny.
