LOL..... The Canadian leaf tattooed on a bunch of afghans. Now you guys are in trouble. They're going to blame you when their Toyotas eventually die.

 

FWIW, I worked with several Canadian Military Units, while serving in RC South and gained a lot of respect for them. Several "Ramp Ceremonies" were in their Honor.



Edit: Nice Truck BTW!

Edit 2: Re-read the article, ..........never mind.

 

I didn't mean Canadians aren't worthy or anything. I just thought it was funny because 'in general' Canadians are thought of as peaceful. Now their flag is tattooed to afghans who are always in a fight.

 

I realize that, hence the edit and removal of half of my post.

"In general", I agree. I left the rest for everyone, because the Canadian Soldiers don't always get the credit they deserve.

 

Right on!

 

I like these quotes:

“It’s the vehicular equivalent of the AK-47.

They use the twin-cab version, because you can carry people and stuff in the back, and also mount a heavy weapon in the pickup.”
