Imagine for a moment that there were RCAF officers stationed somewhere in Alaska or Florida. Imagine that RCAF officers were routinely dating our women, using our restrooms, and drinking from our water coolers. Imagine they were here under the auspices of detecting, intercepting, or engaging any air-breathing threat to North America whether by aircraft, ballistic missiles, or space vehicles. Imagine that they took orders from a Canadian Prime Minister or Canadian Lt. General. Imagine that every now and then they used British spelling or terrorized innocent Americans by beating us at ice hockey? Imagine if Paulestinians were so angry about them being here that they actually joined together to fight them off (Operation Canadian Bacon), in defense of our womenfolk, restrooms, and water coolers, because the leadership in D.C. refused to oust the foreign occupiers. Imagine that Paulestinians were labeled Loonytarians for their actions, and routinely lampooned by Canadian comedians like Dan Aykroyd or Jim Carrey. Imagine if Paulestinians elected a leader who promised to put an end to this national humiliation. The reality is that our military presence on foreign soil is as offensive to the people that live there as RCAF officers would be if they were stationed at Tyndall AFB, Florida or Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. We would not stand for it.
You guys remember that time we burned down the White House? That was cool, eh? ;)
ReplyDeleteWe will make you eat bacon and play hockey. Also, all Starbucks will be converted to Tim Hortons.

ReplyDeleteWhy imagine? We have Canadians stationed in Colorado at NORAD. We have a German fighter squadron assigned to Holloman AFB, NM.
ReplyDeleteJamie,
ReplyDeleteSo right you are. I was, in fact, alluding to NORAD. My post was a spoof on this Ron Paul video:

Good point.
In fact, NORAD is a joint Canadian and US base with (I've read) alternating American and Canadian generals.
There is also a German Air Force Air Defense school located at Fort Bliss, although it is apparently "in the process of transferring its last cohort to Fort Sill."
There are also American Forces stationed here in Winnipeg, where NORAD is based in Canada.
ReplyDeleteThere are other military personnel on both sides of the border, working in "exchange" type programs, and in NATO exercises.
But yeah, I got your point. :P
