It must suck for you to live in a country you hate. 

Isn't he allowed to complain about anything he feels could be better about this country?  I hear you bitching all the time.

I bitch about changing it. He bitches about keeping it the same. He wants the US to be Europe. He admittedly dislikes the people in the military, and if he could live in France over the US, he would (his words).

He does not like what the US stands, and has stood, for.

It's a comedy show. The one guy is on "best week ever". And Esmoreit, the Canadians have an OK military force, but if you think there covert capabilities are remotely close to the US's, your kidding yourself :p.
Maybe the fact that you almost never hear about those capabilities is a testament to how amazing they are.

Seriously, don't underestimate Canada.  It's a great country full of great people... and Quebec.  
Agreed. Plus there's a reason why the Canadian military owns the U.S in every competition they have. 

It does?

Do they even have competitions?

Military forces of allied countries often will have competitions. Most notably with special forces, as a way for countries to cross train their troops.

 

Yah usually Canada, U.S, Isreal and U.K will all compete with each other.

Canda's army isn't that strong but it would be a formable opponent versus say France's army.

That's an idiotic comment, considering we have one of the best, if not the best trained military in the world. We just lack the numbers of other countries.

I'd disagree that the first two sentences are as accurate as you think they are.  More than that, the US is all about change.  Fossilization is the worst thing that could probably happen to it. 

When did he say he dislikes military people in general? 

Source plz on living in France, and if it's true I have a question for Akuma:  What the hell is stopping you from leaving the country?  If you can't be bothered to learn French, there's always Canada (not Quebec), England, Australia ...

lol is all I can say. If it was a serious newscast, not Fox maybe I'd be upset. They're just a bunch of stupid americans who think they're the best country ever.

Theres more to a nation than a big army. Hey America, how's the economy down there?

Man, you're like barely even your own country, so stuff the superiority.

[edit:  I'm willing to admit that's a pretty outrageous exaggeration, but to be fair it's not any crazier than what I was (over)reacting to IMO.]

Akuma and I go way back. We had a discussion here 4-5 months ago on military personnel. He could not say one good thing about them. I can try and find the thread, but we had a lot of them.

I think he said the only thing keeping him from living in France is the language. If it wasn't for that, he would have tried to move there.

Searching these forms is kind of a pain, but the threads are here somewhere.

You don't hear about them, because they are very small group.

“The Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR) was initially established with about 125 members; however its eventual strength is planned to be about 800 members.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Special_Operations_Regiment

So 125 or so members. You think Canada's top 125 members are as well trained as the US's top 125?

Dude, I was insulting Fox news, not all Americans. And yes I shouldn't make fun of the economy, lots of good people have lost their jobs.

But come on, barely our own country? I'm pretty certain we were settled around the same time as America, and we've been allies with America for like 200 years so come on chill out man.
