nevermind what?.

When I said American arrogance I meant that Patton saw the Russians for what they were. The man was smart but ahead of his time. Pacifist americans wanted the war to simply end without any realization as to what would happen next. Soviet Russia wanted control and I don't think either the Americans or the British had any idea as to what would conspire nextt.

What do you mean?

[PJB]

I hate to say what I mean. When I say "Might is Right" I look at what is going on in the Middle East. The United States is playing omnipotent statesman.

Democracy or democratic freedoms have to be wanted by the people rather than being forced upon them by another nation

I'm glad they got rid of Suddam and that the Iraqi's now can decide what is best for themselves.

I like Canadians I really do jees my wife is canadian. But let set the record straght. I just got in this ww2 subject im a huge buff. I agree of course America did not win the war alone. Anyone who says that is a fool. By no means what the Americans did was a mop up operations. lets loo at some other facts anbout canadian forces. The dieppe raid was a disatorious route and those were canadian forces. Canadians were supposed to take Caen by June 7th 1944 d-day +1. They took it in Mid August. Operation market garden was one of the worst campaigns on the western front in 1944. The battle of the Bulge would never have happened if it suceeded properly. Dont get me wrong I blame much of this on Field Marshal Bernard Montgomary. When ever it was a sticky situation he would send ion the canadians to hold the line and then wait for Patton to bail him out. Just saying before you say the US was not a factor in Europe look at your own records first

[PJB]

Do you have any idea what happened at Caen?

Canadians made it the farthest on D-day and we were given alot of the shit jobs of the war. America wasted men and materials like there was no tomorrow. The Russians were even worse.

Its the same question I aks myself about the people of Ontario.

yes there are some very stupid people in Ontario but it seem like ther is 5 stupid Americans for every stupid Canadian.

A lot of people seem to forget about the Italian Campaign in WWII. Has anyone heard of the Battle of Ortana? (my apologies if I spelt that incorrect). In this battle the Canadians basically pioneered modern urban warfare tactics. The methods the Canadian paratroopers used here formed the base of what is taught today about urban warfare. Immedietly after this battle, all of the allies, including the Russians, studied the tactics used by the Canadians.

It's because a game based entirely on the Canadian, or British perspective wouldn't be as successful. But take Call Of Duty for example, you can fight as the British AND the Russians, aswell as the Americans. Also, didn't BF1942 have a Battle of Cain map?

Also, there is a game called Hidden and Dangerous 2 which is based entirely on the British perspective.
