In this forum, you are probably the only guy that can make a difference on this subject by training your guys right and therefore giving them a higher chance of survival in case of such a battle.<br>Have a great one.<br><br>___________________________________________<br>I'm just another Mac user at an 8 hour day Dilbert style cubicle job....<br>

I was thinking about Canada =)<br><br>And I believe the US may have given logistical support, but that was about it ...<br><br>***matt<br><br>Turn up the signal, wipe out the noise ...
In WW1 and WW2, The US was selling weapons to both sides throught the war before it got involved, which of course boosted the economy in WW2.<br><br>___________________________________________<br>I'm just another Mac user at an 8 hour day Dilbert style cubicle job....<br>

Hmmmm ... I didn't realize that he US government was selling weapons to any of the Axis powers before the war ...<br><br>I know Lend-Lease was an under-the-table way of supplying Britain, but other than that do you have any links to support this? ...<br><br>And again, what does that have to do with the subject at hand - which was your saying Canada only participated in one war?<br><br>;-)<br><br>***matt<br><br>Turn up the signal, wipe out the noise ...
