Make future generation pay for old crimes is as bad as totally ignore, rewrite, make excuses or completely erase it from history books.

 

Google and other sources we believe being reliable neutral and factual being overrun by AI and algorithm. 

 

 

 

Search algorithms are truth now? LOL

I think that is a rather narrow view of the motivations that Canadians felt at the outbreak of WWII.

Sacrificing your young men in a war with absolutely no threat to your shores -- is insanity. The US learned this in WWI. I can only believe Canada, had they imitated the US in getting rid of the Crown, would have also imitated the US in not knowingly sacrificing their youth -- unless, and until, war was declared on them. "God save the King" has an interesting ring to it. But marching off to war, as a colony and not as an independent country, is madness.

Just how is he a coward ?

 

Because he didn't volunteer to go fight in an unjust war that most would agree was one of the USA's biggest military mistakes since WW2, at the time.  Waste of millions of lives, including almost 60k American soldiers killed, and 1000's more soldiers & famly's lives ruined.

 

Seems like an intelligent move to me.  Know many that made the mistake of not taking a holiday to Canada till over.   From my small hometown alone ...

 

Had you been there helping, perhaps one or two of these boys might have lived to come home again. Tell me, was it selfishness or cowardice that kept you away?
Personally, I enlisted in ‘67. Not because I thought the war was just, but because my fellow Americans were doing what their country asked of them. I felt it my duty to at least help them.

We live in an intercontinental world, what happens to our allies, influence our wealth and markeds, so better sit back and let your trade partners fade away, and collaborate with their enemies instead? 

 

Thats short minded. Many Today Americans do not understand how important 2. WW was for their own good and wealth. From the hard 20 ies and 30 ies to world most powerful country since the romans in the western world. 

 

It cost them 350 000 men, another 80k to maintain it for 80 years. Now, ready to turn their back to old allies

I enlisted in '76', and was still in HS till '73'.

Never going to be good debates between those who know history, studie history, and those who only read headlines, and cut and paste stories colored for best purpose of their agenda

 

Sadly, I confess after 41 years teaching history to lack the stamina and desire to try to educate far too many who seem unable or unwilling to listen to those who have made a lifetime of study.

Might have something to do with the "old Allies" snuggling up to China as fast as they can.

And you think we sold out before Usa? And don't you think we will speed up now after Trump have sent his message out to Usa allies? 

 

What is the risk feeding Saudi with high tech weapons? Saudi who obviously want to play on team with Russia?
