Be as threatening as you want - you'll find I don't react well to threats. But go ahead and post your "heavy" stuff... if it's as factual/logical as the rest of your posts in this thread then I really don't have to worry at all do I?

And yes, if there were Germans who were soldiers in Vietnam, there were German soldiers there. I didn't say that the German army sent their men there to fight.

Okay earlier you stated that Canada the country sents troops to Vietnam... so according to this "air-tight" logic of yours Germany, UK, Italy, heck even Switzerland sent troops...
Quote:
And they were not prosecuted for being in Vietnam. What a stupid thing to say. Why don't you just tell me about the ones that were prosecuted for robbery when they came back from Vietnam?? Being prosecuted for war crimes or robbery is not being prosecuted for fighting in Vietnam. Why don't you just tell me that the dirt in Toronto is brown, because that's as irrelevant as that point.

See again you're wrong - every Canadian citizen that served in the Vietnam War is a criminal according to the Canadian government... see there's this law thingy that prohibits citizens from taking up arms against a friendly nation.
So in the case of Vietnam those citizens that served in the US Army were in violation of the Foreign Enlistment Act of 1937 (enacted because of Spainsih Civil War):
Any person, who being a Canadian national, whether within or residing outside Canada voluntarily accepts or agrees to accept any commission or engagement in the armed forces of any foreign state at war with any friendly state.... is guilty of an offense of this act.
To avoid prosecution many Canadians renouced their citizenship - or even lied on their applications in order to protect themselves from prosecution by giving false US place of birth location.

And no I didn't make an argument for it being the only memorial. The Canadian government needs to invest more money into its education system to help men like you learn proper English. I even asked a question. And where did I get the info? Through reading on my own, probably from Daily Kos.
You can keep bashing America and Fox news but you have nothing. I didn't say Ann was right. I simply pointed out that there were over 30,000 Canadian soldiers in Vietnam, while their government "served as accessory to the crime" and later subsidized their memorial.

Oooooh stop using the O'Reilly pattern of data manipulation (or fabrication) when making an arguement...
Up to 30,000 Canadians in the US military, of which 10,000 may have served in Vietnam is a far cry from your assertion of 30,000 Canadians in Vietnam....
As for the government "funding" a memorial let me understand this then...
So if US citizens commision and pay for the memorial and the city of Windsor allows them to purchase a space within a municpal park that means that the Federal government some how recognized and subsidized the memorial?
As for the Canadian government "serving as an accessory to the crime" are you saying/admiting that Vietnam was a criminal war? - oh-oh the neo-cons are going to have to drag you away for re-education... or do you mean to say that Canada was an assessor to the criminal act commited by those citizens who served in Vietnam by not blocking the construction of the memorial - or by the granting of an amnesty back in the late 80's to those citizens?

Perhaps you can learn a little from visiting the site of those who built the memorial:
http://www.geocities.com/pentagon/5344/cvvm.html
They seem to have a slightly better grasp of the facts than the site you read earlier...
