Well it’s been some time since I (or anyone) has posted in this thread so here goes…
With some recent controversy over “deserters” and such in the Iraq Conflict, and other people commenting on Canada’s historic commitment to military or international matters. While their have been some US citizens that have come to Canada because of the Iraq conflict, many more Canadians have instead joined the American military (they are now banned, along with all non-nationals, from being officers)… a situation somewhat reminiscent to what happened at the same time as the Vietnam conflict.
I thought that this article would add some historical perspective. It is taken from a support site for Vietnam vets, and is a reprint of the article, which appeared in Vietnam Magazine.

This article may shed some light on what may await Canadians who served with the American forces in Iraq.
