I don't get why Jhan edited my content. It wasnt threatening, I was just talking about people fighting in bridges.

Once they had been deployed, Nazi's that tried to desert or deviate from orders were shot by Germans, without question. The allied forces often shot Nazi's on sight, without question. So what the hell are you going to do, besides keep your head down and hope you get through the war alive?

Dumbass, the Myth was about something taught in Canadian History Books to which most of you dumb people get your biased knowledge from. All canadian history books say Hitler's forces were German Nazis who chose to enlist.

Since none of us were there to experience it first hand (although many of us have grandparents who did), all history we read is biased to a certain extent. However, there are clear connections between all historical accounts of every event that took place, and those similarities are what we take as the truth.
And how can you say Canadian history books are biased? Our books aren't coloured with imagination and fiction. In the States, they don't even learn about the Holocaust.

LOL, Holocaust is taught in the US ? They don't need to. That's like teaching kids about Great Purge in Russia. Then you'd have to teach every single horrible shit that happened in the last 50 years, including Israeli crimes which is against the agenda. of the US government.

Ok Canada had nothing to do with both wars, it wasn't threatened by the Axis in any way except maybe economically.
WW1 : Canada was Great Britain's *****.
WW2: Canada didn't do much anyway, it still wasn't its war.
Afghanistan : I don't need to comment on that it's obvious.
Korean War: Same as above
To the idiot Reeves: Sacrificed my life for me ? Wow, you really need brain cells. Like seriously, I think I am going to study how to generate brain cells just for you. Btw, call me a kid for playing video game, whatever. At least, I know more history than you do.
People who support Remembrance Day, Support War and therefore they support killings of human BEINGS. HOW can you support killings of human Beings ffs.

you seriously got to be kidding me -_- go brush up on ur history before you start lecturing others.. Canada was still considered a part of Britain so they had to help out or have the risk of being treated as a betraying colony after all Britain did for it. Even if Canada wasn't threatened in either wars, for all you know it could have gotten to the point where Canada was also in trouble and we would have been screwed for not joining in and helping those counties in need. And "Support for soldiers in WW1 and WW2?? Wtf!" its to pay ur respects to those in the past who gave up their families, futures and dreams just so others can continue holding onto their own. It's just nice you know to show that we haven't forgotten what they did for us.

[removed by moderator] I didn't say Canada wasn't considered part of Britain. And you don.' know jack shit about WW2. Russia and Britain was all what was needed to destroy the German killing machine.
British won against Rommel alone. Russia defeated Nazis Germany in Stalingrad. D-Day wouldn't have been needed since Russia was sweeping from the East anyway.
Have been screwed ? In relations with other countries, maybe.
No I won't pay my respect for something I don't care about. WW2 was a cowards' war.
5 countries vs 1 ??? WTF no Honor at all.
I hate Nazis just as much as I hate hypocrisy. You guys fought against Germany when Russia should have been you're first issue. You guys ARE SO LUCKY the Soviet Union dissembled itself from within because it's political system was flawed.

ROFL HAHAHAHA HONOR? wait there where millions of jewish people were being slaughtered and the crazy jackass wanted to increase his power over to other countries and everyone was supposed to consider "oooh no i dun wanna be unfair and tag team 1 country...maybe we should each take turns attacking and give hitler a chance to recover...we have to be nice" it was a war dealing with manslauter and a crazy power hunger fool, you [removed by moderator] the best way to end it was to stop germany and over power it....its what they had to do to saving millions of other lives.

... ummm you do realize this war was over 50 years... "we" didn't do anything the people of that time did what they had to do to save lives if YOU got some problem with that then go friggen invent a time machine and tell em to focus on the Soviet Union. And it was a cold war between the soviet Union and the States, the 2 most powerful countries in the world. if any other country started something stupid and tried tag teaming one or the other a whole nuclear war would have broken out and thats TOTALLY what we wanted ... [removed by moderator]. Stop talking like you actually know something when you just some [removed by moderator] who thinks its "unhonorable to team up on a country even if millions were going to die"

For someone that claims to know all about history, you miss a lot. Canada, in 1939 (the outbreak of world war 2), was a dominion of Britain, meaning we were still under British sovereignty. Legally, we were still part of Britain until the constitution Act of 1982. So Britain's going to war means we went too.
Wtf are you talking about 5 vs 1? Do you even know what happened, and what countries were involved? There was no "1". Germany was allied with Italy and Japan mainly, but also with the remnants of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Hungary, Romania, etc), and random other countries, like Finland (who successfully fought off the USSR you seem to hold in such high regard, with inferior numbers and technology). That's 6 countries right there, and that doesn't even include puppets or factions of governments.
Stick to your math and physics, engineer.
...or not, since you apparently cant count past 1.

You're mistaken. There's nothing to "refute," you've clearly never taken a history course.
I'm not going to waste my time proving you wrong when all you have to do is pick up a ****ing book.
