Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations to Canada
Thanks Daylia for that info. That last article on Vietnam vets was interesting to me because I never knew that Canadians were enlisted into the US military. It talked about draft evaders going to Vancouver and that is why I was wondering a little about Canada, because I had just recently met a Vietnam draft dodger that went to Vancouver and lived there for 12 years before returning to the US. I swamped him with tons of questions about it because he was the first I had ever met. He told people I was interviewing him! But now I wonder if he was just full of shit, because he's the one that told me Canada was a neutral. If I ever see him again I'll have to ask him!
Another thing I learned today was about Canada being a colony of Great Britain until 1867. I never knew that either. Thanks. I want to know more! What is up with Canadians fighting in the US military? Don't you have a military up there? And why don't you recognize the Vietman vets? And is this thread drift Amos?!
Peace. Rustic
