As a Canadian I do get it. While I never served in the military, I have many relatives that did serve. Except for Viet Nam and Iraq, the Canadian military has been right there beside the US, Britian, Austrailia, and the other allies in WWI, WWII, Korea, etc. While many people in the Middle East do hate the US, Canadians certainly are not to be included as you insinuate. We have much more in common than we have different.
I respect you and all service men and women that fight for our countries and make sacrifices for the freedom that we enjoy. Unfortunately far too many Canadians have been coming home in boxes from Afganistan lately.
