Devrep, I attached no opprobrium to retaliation in war, only addressed an earlier post implying America went to war to fight fascism.
We fought as an Anglo-American alliance, with General George Marshall---whom Churchill called "the organizer of Victory"---and General Dwight Eisenhower as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces.
Canadians were brothers-in-arms with Americans in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and Northwest Europe to victory. To say I or any other person has no right to comment on the war is birthplace chauvinism.
Two of my friends won Military Crosses with the Honourable Artillery Company and 15/16 Lancers trying to prevent a disaster at the American defeat at Kasserine Pass in Tunisia in February 1943.
Canadians received a Presidential Citation from your Commander-in-Chief for their competence and leadership with U.S. Special Forces currently fighting in Afghanistan. Let's not diminish our friendship.
