feel free to point out anywhere that cowardice was mentioned
ps, calling any opposing viewpoint "liberal" is retarded

I read that as you saying we don't want to get into it = cowardice.
Oh, and it's not that your viewpoint is opposing mine that I called it liberal. It's the fact that I view you as a liberal.

it's kinda sad how every argument on the NT seems to degenerate into liberals vs conservatives, every if political stances had absolutely nothing to do with it.
It's the hatfields vs the mccoys, everybody seems to be either in one camp or the other and theres no middle ground. Everybody on one side blindly follows their leaders and blindly attacks the other guy, and vice versa

That's why I said I view you as one, which I do, not that you are one. There's a difference~

oic
for the record
pointing out that it took the US 2 years to enter WW2 had nothing to do with cowardice
it was more just a fact kind of thing
ps, that quote is just part of a longer satirical rant

The US was more of an isolationist country back then. Because of that great big body of water seperating us from Europe we weren't as quick to jump in the fight.

We pretty much won WWII... The only people who really helped were the English and Russians. The 10 mounties and the crates of pancakes with syrup that the Canucks contributed doesn't even deserve to be in the history books.

Canada lost approx 45,000 Military personal during WW2. I think that amounts to a hell of alot more than 10 mounties and some pancakes. Your attempt at being funny should be saved for other threads where humor is needed

Stalin killed more than 45,000 people before he got out of bed every morning.

Well, Canada had much closer ties and was previously subject to British rule.
This is why much of what Canada did was to augment the UK forces.
Anyone trying to mock Canada or the US contribution to WWII is being silly. Both countries made great sacrifices and both were important to winning the war.
The US had 16 million people fighting and lost over 400,000 troops.
Canada had 1.5 Million people serving and lost 45,000 troops. Per Capita, Canada sent more people than the US.
