Canada is feeding its soldiers rodents

A hard rat is good to find . . .

I understand that they are very tasty if sauteed in garlic butter with onions. :wink:

In many parts of Asia in which rice is cultivated, the rats are a serious problem for farmers who are using primitive storage methods. So, they kill the rats whenever they can, and eat them, providing a much needed source of protein.

Well, see, there ya go! I think the military should consider themselves darn lucky that such delicacies are readily available!

I for one am incensed that Canajun soldiers have access to a higher quality fare than 'Merican soldiers do. What's the good of being the biggest bully on the block if you can't have all the good stuff for yourself?

This is a bold-faced lie. Everyone knows there's no such thing as a Canadian soldier.

Not only are there Canadian soldiers in Canada, there are a number of US soldiers going to Canada (again).

That's the only way Canada gets soldiers.

Asylum.

Canadian soldier....sss-sss-sss-ss

That's no surprise. ANYTHING's tasty if it's sauteed in garlic butter with onions.

Sadly, that's not the only way the US is losing soldiers.

My question is, if there is no such thing as a Canadian soldier, why would we need to get them?

And yes, Canada has an army, air force and navy. Just because Canada does not attack other countries, we still have soldiers. Mostly in peackeeping duty around the world.

Canadian humor.

Or, humor about Canadians.

I've got millions of them.

But, e brown. Nothing funny about your comment.

Some thousands were stationed in our county for more than 30 years.

Quite a few married here - so we gave them asylum? :wink:

In the First World War, the Canadians and Australians were the shock troops of the Empire. Canada maintained 620,000 personnel in their overseas expeditionary force. More than 61,000 Canadians died in France and Flanders, which approaches an absolute definition of decimate. At Ypres (more than once), at Hill 70 and Lens, and in the final assault against the German Army, the Canadians were courageous, innovative and dedicated as no other Imperial troops were, with the exception of the Australians. Total Canadian casualties in the Great War exceeded those of the United States, even though the population of Canada in 1914 was 7,000,000 as compared to the one hundred ten million in the United States.

In the Second World War, the Canadians sent troops overseas again. Canadians landed in Sicily and at Palermo; the Second Division suffered disasterous casualties on the altar of Louis Mountbatten's personal ambition at Dieppe and the English learned everything that could go wrong in a modern amphibious assault. But more than that, the Royal Canadian Navy, with fewer resources than the RN and the USN, with their best ships and crews taken from them by the Royal Navy, still managed to convoy more supply ships to England than the United States Navy and the Royal Navy combined. Starting with fewer than a dozen ships in commission in 1939, and fewer than 2,000 personel, by 1945, the RCN was the third largest navy in the world. It was larger than the Royal Navy had been in 1939. It grew to 96,000 personnel of all ranks.

Yeah, them Canajuns, they ain't real heroes, like the Americans.
