Canada is on a shoestring budget. When I lived there, 2% of the budget was for the military. They saved up for 15 years just to buy 2 squadrons of F-18 Hornets (my father was an exchange officer during this, flew with their Squad based in Ottowa).
If they leave it's more symbolic than anything else. Their troops are fighting well, but won't cripple us if they leave. I just appreciate them being there with us so long.

If you want to discuss the American military, get a thread split or start a new one. This thread was created to discuss the Canadian forces and their role overseas. If you have anything to contribute to that discussion, go ahead. Otherwise, please take it elsewhere.

Please show me how his post was designed to incite arguments and full of veiled insults.
Honestly I have no idea what post you read because it could not have been Seavers.
