Our soldiers know it. We know we can kick US butt on a 4:1 ratio, we're that good and the typical US trooper is that bad. However? We know we're outnumbered more than 10:1 so...
There's US troops (units) that are truly 'world class' but they're few & far between. Most fall into the readiness & capacity of "conscripts" which are fine until the shooting starts...
The US does have a vast cadre of "battle tested" troops and reserves in spite of all that. Those troops, even if at conscript levels are potentially much more dangerous than untested "elites", eh?
Canada's troops are all battle tested. So are our reserves.
To be blunt, Canadian nationalism is hilarious because, uhm...Canadian...
There's no way all those troops are both elite and battle-tested and, even if they were...so?
100k ain't getting shit done.
You're kind of proving OP's point. He said Canadians don't understand scale, and think they're way stronger than they are, and you came back with that your guys are elite...
In every exercise, joint operation or joint training since 1980? Canada has kicked the butt of every other army they've engaged with. Often on the first day of a 3-day exercise. (They set it up again and ask the Canadians to tone it down, eh? For the last 2 days) USA, UK, France, Germany, Korea? all of them.
We have had troops in harms way for decades, from Yugoslavia to Afghanistan. We cycle the small number of soldiers we have in and out, they're all tested.
After all that is said? We wouldn't stand a chance against a serious US invasion. However keep in mind: The US Army Could Not Defeat Afghanistan In 20 Years ok? They couldn't even occupy the entire nation.
Yeah yeah sure, hardened Canadian warriors marched through a thousand miles of nothing and fought their way through barely-trained militia farmers to burn down a shitty swamp house 200 years ago. Fucking whatever.
What are you going to fight for? Gay crosswalks? Chinese landlords? Being called to selfless suicide when you can no longer work to provide gibs to people who wipe with their hands, if at all? You're a nation of arrogant, delusional liberals that doesn't even want to exist. Frankly, your people probably want to be conquered at this point, which makes it sting all the worse that you were never worth the effort.
There was a time, like WWI and WWII when the Canadian armed forces were world class. But now, our army, navy and air force are bad jokes compared to what we used to be. There is simply no way you can say, with a straight face, that the average Canadian soldier can fight off enemy combatants at a 4:1 disadvantage unless you're retarded.
In a purely defensive, guerilla war? Yes. We're really good at 'covert ops'.
In WW2 style? Or even Iraq? No.
Of course it will never come to that, most of our army would welcome joining the US, I think. Y'all would just need to be polite about it :>

Sorry. Not buying it.

I said we understand the scale, we're vastly outnumbered and even King David couldn't pull out a military victory with these odds. Leonidas either...
Fortunately it will never come to that. Poilievre will sweep the nation & common sense will return! Hopefully.
Genuinely embarrassed me as a Canadian reading this delusional garbage. What planet are you on?
I would be too. I'm very sorry; you've got enough on your plate without having to deal with this cringe nonsense.
Thanks, I needed that one lol
