During Kosovo the infamous F-117 was shot down, Iraq war 80 beyond repair, source: Discovery Mega factories: Abrams documentary. Sure GC conventions, who gives a ****, all is fair in war, besides our infiltrators never get caught. some old farts sitting in Geneva are supposed to dictate what we can or cant do...**** em, if we are attacked we will defend. We know more in all areas, please dont be moronic enough to put Canada on the same level as India. yes Canada was a WW-2 army which is why they don't mean jack now.
The first overseas deployment of Canadian military forces occurred during the Second Boer War, when several units were raised to serve under British command. Similarly, when the United Kingdom entered into conflict with Germany in the First World War, Canadian troops were called to participate in European theatres. The Canadian Crown-in-Council then decided to send its forces into the Second World War, as well as the Korean War. Since 1947, Canadian military units have participated in more than 200 operations worldwide, and completed 72 international operations. Canadian soldiers, sailors, and aviators came to be considered world-class professionals through conspicuous service during these conflicts, as well as the country's integral participation in NATO during the Cold War, First Gulf War, Kosovo War, and in United Nations Peacekeeping operations, such as the Suez Crisis, Golan Heights, Cyprus, Croatia, Bosnia, and Afghanistan. Battles which are particularly notable to the Canadian military include the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the Dieppe Raid, the Battle of Ortona, the Normandy Landings, the Battle for Caen, the Battle of the Scheldt, the Battle of Britain, the Battle of the Atlantic, and the strategic bombing of German cities.
At the end of the Second World War, Canada possessed the third-largest navy and fourth-largest air force in the world, as well as the largest volunteer army ever fielded by the country; conscription for overseas service was introduced only near the end of the war, and only 2,400 conscripts actually made it into battle.
In the 20th century, the British Indian Army was a crucial adjunct to the British forces in both the World Wars.
1.3 Million Indian soldiers served in World War I (1914-1918) for the Allies after the Britain made vague promises of self-governance to the Indian National Congress for its support. Britain reneged on its promises after the war, following which the Indian Independence movement gained strength. 74,187 Indian troops were killed or missing in action in the war.
In World War II (1939-1945), 2.582 Million Indian soldiers fought for the Allies, again after British promises of independence. 87,000 Indian soldiers died in the war.
India gained its Independence, in part due to the sacrifices of Indian soldiers in the two World Wars.
you wanna compare history, you can't we are a civilization older than the Chinese, much more ancient than the Egyptians and we border lines with the Mayans, beginnings of human wisdom originated in India. Canada hardly has a history. we had more troops in both WWs. Today for us every war is worth fighting when the security of our nation and our people is in jeopardy, you will find me and many of us over here pulling impossible odds at the front line as well. we will not loose never, our losing days are long history. If your just too blind or just too stupid to see that we will evolve into the largest and the deadliest force the world has ever known or seen. Already we have positioned ourselves among the top 4 most technologically advanced countries, and no China or Canada is not one of them.
