Is it weird to be proud of being Canadian when we hear that we're crazy on the battlefield, to the point of considering Geneva's convention as Geneva's suggestions.
@@shadinz or the Geneva check list jokes... Because of how many of those conventions were made after they saw what the Canadians did to the Nazis.
Honestly, what I couldn't help think when he was going on about all the guns and stuff on the navel ships was "All those weapons didn't help in pearl harbor." Not to be glib about it, but while the US is amazing with building weaponry, they suffer perpetually, and historically, from a lack of imagination on how far an enemy will go, especially when defending their homeland. Meanwhile, Canadians are basically the john wick of military imagination. We haven't found a limit to where they will go. Arguably, the more limited our resources, the more dangerous our military gets. We had one guy, with a machine gun and a bag of grenades he stole from the enemy and he beat a company of german's by himself. He's listing off all the tools the US has, and honestly, its a shared comidty, because Canada has one thing that the US isn't used to in the slightest. We look, and can sound JUST LIKE THEM. The US has had a habbit of going after the 'other' in all their wars. Enemies they can easily identify. They don't have a plan for going to war with people indistinguishable from themselves. If something happened between the US and Canada that lead to war, you honestly don't think our spec ops, in plain clothes or US military uniform, sneaking onto their bases and stealing the best shit?
Hell, you don't think average Canadians that want some won't just sneak across the border and arm up with military gear at the nearest gun show and lay waste to entire towns?
Americans have a habit of drawing lines, that can't be crossed. Canadians draw targets.
Oh, and if you think I'm talking out my ass here, just a reminder. We sent a fraction of the special forces soldiers to afghanistan than the US and we were there for a fraction of the time, and we still left with a higher body count than all of the US's special forces units COMBINED.
You know how the Geneva Convention is so long?
We're sorry. We left too many witnesses that weren't us.
@@2centschangethat’s cool bud how’d the war of 1812 go again? You had to be saved by the British and almost got captured hmm yeahhh
HLC, the reason why Canada isn't as big a military as we'd like, is because we have the USA playing goalie for anybody that touches the USA's Maple Syrup and War Crime Suggestion supply.
The wording on this deserves recognition.
Tbh anyone touching the entire western hemisphere.
Monroe doctrine says what
Yea... But we Americans know that if there is a fun war out there that were apart of you Canadians aren't far behind or ahead of us...
I'm fairly certain our last few PMs have been relying on NORAD for air defense, thus the lack of any missile defense systems.
We US folks would and do fold if they say we can't have anymore of that sweet, sweet liquid.
As a Canadian one thing you have forgotten,, we will, can and are very willing to go to the extreme,
No country threatens our beer, maple syrup, Tim Hortons and bacon
Geneva suggestions....
You forgot the poutine man… don’t fuck with our poutine
Canadian badassery is a substantial force multiplier.
Canada has historically had a small active military but during war times we had a massive rate of citizens signing up. I think our WW2 numbers were 750k....in 1938 our active was 51k
As an American I’m cool with all of that except y’all’s “bacon” 😂
The First Special Service Force “The Devils Brigade” was a joint USA and Canadian special group who trained at Fort William Henry Harrison in Helena,MT. They were the father of both US and Canadian Special Forces Groups. Their history is absolute amazing!
All of them were handpicked from existing soldiers with previous experience in logging, prospecting, mountaineering, etc.
JFK said it great infront of Canadian Parliament.
"Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder."
And guests at the wedding clapped, cheered and headed out to the reception.
That's a great quote
I’m gonna say this when I get back in school just like this other quote. “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man young healthy and wise”
Its mostly a huge joke that Canada vs America COULD ever happen. Far too damn many connections that would make it impossible on a political, economic or social level. We're just too damn interconnected. Its never going to happen.
@@a33262it had already happened several times before in small events and skirmishes, plus the big one of 1812. It wasn't until relatively recently when we were quite sure. Even during the Cold War with our part in NORAD, there was concern we'd be a gun for America to use, even possibly on ourselves (afterall, we just setup their missiles in our backyard).
But at a more "feet on the street" level, I don't know I never looked into how individual people felt, but I'd think after WWI was probably when it became a joke. Maybe WWII.
I don't think it'd happen after 1900's, like you said too interconnected. But it seems the thought was there. Like a nervous laughter.
As a Canadian, I’m kinda shocked this video is more than 30 seconds. Much love from the psychotic hat!
Lol
As a Canadian also pleasantly surprised he stretched this out to almost 40 minutes
Id say America would win but with very, very, very HEAVY loses
And that is coming from an American
@@Alpha-omega-beginning-and-end fair
@@Alpha-omega-beginning-and-end I always figured we (Canadians) would lose the war in the end, but that occupation resistance is when things really get fun
The only thing that Canadian soldiers have that makes us any kind of threat, is heart. We are always outnumbered, we never have the best equipment and we can't afford the best machines, but we don't back up and we don't leave our allies unprotected. When we showed up at Vimy Ridge, the Germans held up signs that said "welcome Canada", a few days later, we were not welcome anymore. On D day, the Canadians took Juno Beach and drove inland farther than any other force. We have heart, that said, I hope that no Canadian soldier ever dies on foreign soil again.
Outnumbered? I think you mean target rich environment. 😂
I also want to say that on Juno beach we also fought against the strongest forces aside from the American beaches
It's so funny watching a soldier freak out about how many guns we put on things. The laughter makes it easier to not freak out myself about how many guns we put on things.
"Use a gun, and if that don't work; use more gun."
As someone who's grandfather was a DE Captain during WWII, I can tell you that the entire reason the US Navy puts so much ordinance on our DD and CL class ships can best be described as "lessons learned from the Pacific Theater."
*Canada launches attack on April fools day* , American border guards calls in to inform superior. Canadian solder whispers : " whos gonna believe you?" 🤫
Hahahaha
Bro, I have for years thought tbry need to remake Canadian bacon , but with Canada actually invading the us and just the American government and military not believing it
I also think it would be great if lots of Canadian celebrities did cameos where it turns out they’ve actually been secret agents this whole time
Like I wanna see Ryan gosling and Seth rogan kidnapping by a us govenor while apologizing and letting them know there a big fan and actually voted donates to them several times
I also want Justin briber to be there and jsut; be wildly incompetent and not participate so Ryan can yell “what the f Justin we practiced this “
Idunno why I just think that would be hilarious
😆😆😆
that's pretty devious, I like it you get my seal of aprove
🤣🤣🤣
"America, who hurt you?"
*Japan shifts nervously*.
Don't forget the Soviet Propaganda Machine as well.
america, who hurt you *looks at over 200 years of war in under 250 years of existance* EVERYONE
note, the figure is inaccurate, it counts any year where there is at least 1 day of war as a "year at war", so for instance though the us civil war lasted 5.5 years it counts as 6, or ww2 which the us was in for 3.8 years is counted as 5, but its fun to say it that way.
🤣🤣🤣
Not our fault that idiots keep coming at the king and missing.
That's what I was thinking.
The point rarely discussed is the fact that the majority of rural Canadian residents are well armed. Overthrowing the government is one thing……. Controlling the vast countryside afterwords is another.
Funnily enough, Canadians in the countryside fit more the American stereotypical citizen than actual Americans at times
I thought Trudeau made owning guns in Canada illegal though....am I wrong?
Its would basically be Vietnam on steroids lol. Neither side would truly be able to "win"
@@Ocoro_Some differences: Our guns and ammo are generally locked, seperately. We don't use schools as shooting ranges (unless bears enter - it's happened) and we're always willing to help our neighbours when they're in a bind, without cost.
That's what I was gonna say. Let's say 10 years from now the US actually decided to cross the border. Maybe it's to claim most of the world's fresh water during a global drought or something. Fine, whatever. We are talking about a guerrilla war against 40 million very pissed off, very well armed Canadians. This is not Afghanistan, Iraq or Vietnam. This is worse, harder, and far more difficult to advance against. And the US would need to advance, while Canadians would be on the defensive. It's not an invasion where the "enemy" is visible. This is Canada. Incursions, partisans, militias, resistance movements. Sure: Toronto, Halifax, Vancouver, Montreal and every other major city would get levelled pretty quickly. We'd be occupied in a heartbeat. On one hand though, the entire world would probably turn this into the biggest proxy war in history, even if it didn't become an active global conflict. On the other, even if that didn't happen, the next x number of years would be such an unimaginable, explosive, freedom-fighting shitstorm that it would make every other revolution, coup, popular uprising or extremist movement that ever existed blush like an innocent little schoolgirl. Once again, 40 million angry Canadians. We might not win, but boy would we make it hurt.
Thing to remember about us Canadians: At this point we're essentially that middle aged single guy telling all our work buddies we totally could have gone pro if it wasn't for our bum knee. If you look at what we were making in the 60s/70s to what's happened now we're practically a cautionary tale on why the US can't sleep on their own weapons programs.
Besides that, politically we just can't recruit enough people. Variety of reasons but the long and short of it is from all I've seen it's been a massive struggle for the Canadian Forces to just get people on board.
You also just described britain
mass immigration, first-second generation people who don't want to fight or serve. plus this generation just isn't into military service. Almost every first world country is having staffing issues with recruitment for the armed forces.
the second main reason is as Canadians we have been made to feel ashamed of our armed forces. ever since trudeu sr turned our armed forces into NATO peacekeepers. since the 70's we have barely had any federal money put into the Canadian Forces. We have just kept enough to meet NATO obligations up into the early 2000's then each successive federal government has spent less and less on the military budget.
the people who have served in Canadian Forces Deserve a lot better then what we as a county have given them and just like you guys we need to do A LOT more to help our Vets when they come home. A LOT more.
I love how American boats are basically just a five year old playing with Legos and attaching guns and missiles wherever there is an uncovered stud on their ship.
That’s so fucking accurate it’s funny.
😂 perfect
Thats the best analogy I’ve read😂
when I build with Lego, I pretend that the smooth plates are armour
Absolute best analogy I've seen yet. I will add it to my memory for use later.
puting lockheed martin and mcdonalds next to eachother on the list is the most American thing ever
It's Texas. We don't like our guests to get hungry. It's called hospitality. 😜

As a Canadian, a ex military personal, and I have worked with Americans… we work great together. Unfortunately the left and right cut cut cut till we had nothing. But they are really learning there lesson now.
I was army and then airforce. MAN are we underpowered and underfunded.
You are one of my favourite RUclipsrs. Keep up the great work.
To be fair… our reserve infantry have more training than your army. We are just as trained as the USMC. I say that because all infantry are trained on all weapons. But then we don have a army unit dedicated to heaters, tents, and bodies. I remember meeting that group, as a infantrymen we had to do the heaters and tents ourselves.
I can say with great certainty that our cooks are WAYYY better and our IMP’s are top notch
Hah I’ve always heard Canadian rations kick ass compared to most neat to hear that our kicks are as well.
Well with the disgusting behavior of our military personal, we'll soon have to increase spending to cover all the lawsuits.
Actually we're not underfunded😅 we just can't seem to spend it or fill the empty spots in the army that we need
As a CAF cook I appreciate you saying that xD
Canadian fan here, thanks for trying to be positive for us. Numbers alone USA would steam roll us, I feel like we'd give you afew good kicks to the balls but within a week you'd have afew new states lol
Sure but we'd never do that so it's pretty irrelevant beyond entertainment. Not to mention that anyone else who tried to f*ck with you would get a heaping helping of FREEDOM!!!!🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲 Quick,fast,and,in a hurry if for no other reason then you are on our border. Love you little bro🇺🇲🇨🇦🇺🇲
The biggest issue for the US in a hypothetical fight wouldnt be the invasion, it would be the insurgency after. Youd have a bunch of people who are pissed off and willing to fight dirty who look like you, dress like you, have most of the same culture as you, consumes the same entertainment as you, speaks like you and for all intents and purposes can just seem American.
And all of those people would not only be around occupation forces, but have access to the US border as well.

We really can't stand up to anyone.

Oh yeah no for sure eh?
@@GuntherRommel Oh yah, der, bud.
Our biggest (only) secret weapon is our ability to blend in with Americans. I think someone from the border states could easily go to the other and fit in.
@@GuntherRommelNot all Canadians embrace stereotypes. Some are quite reserved and realise that for us to feed the bears properly we need enough "out for rip Der buds" that smash their snowmobiles into culverts drunk, or become retarded from smashing their heads repeatedly into ice and boards from young . These guys are getting hip replacements at 45.
Canada doesnt have the gear that America does, but we are sneaky. I was aboard the HMCS Restigouche in the mid 80s. We were sailing to Hawaii for RIMPAC. We contacted the American Battle Group and said "Why dont we try to attack you on the way for practice?" The Americans laugher as we had 3 destroyers and an oiler, they had the USS Carl Vincent!
1 destroyer and the oiler made it about 300 nautical miles from the group and were sunk by a swarm of Tomcats.The other 2 had vanished, we sailed in front of the group with no radio, no radar and emitting zero electronic signatures, took a day to loop around, navigating by the stars and with men lashed to the top of the mast with binos. We took the Carl Vincent by surprise, and 2 old Korean war Canadian Destroyers sunk the Carl Vincent.
We only made it about a mile before being wiped out but....good tradeoff really. We are famous for being sneaky like that.
As a Canadian, and a vet I have to say that Canada would 100% get our teeth kicked in by overwhelming force. That being said everytime Canadian and US forces have joint training exercises the Canadians do punch weight above their numbers, however we don't punch 26x our numbers. The US would roll over Canada once the forces were accumulated, but the US forces would know that they had been in a fight the whole time. The military in Canada has shrunk drastically over the decades, after WW2 Canada had the 3rd largest navy in the world along with 3 aircraft carriers, the last of which was decommisioned in 1970. Don't want to see this fight every happen since I have many friends over the border. Canada and the US are so close with families being on both sides of the border at the same time that it would be akin to a new age civil war or at least a war against cousins.
I'm sorry but the idea we'd have even a bloody nose after is hilarious. Your everything would be in pieces in a single sorte.
And nothing says loving like fighting with your cousin! 😂
Canadian military here: The only chance we'd have is to immediately go into asymmetric warfare and hope to turn the entire country into such a quagmire, that it, plus the economic and international diplomatic backlash, would force the US to pull its troops. We'd immediately lose out airspace and there is no chance in hell we could rely on anything that requires static military infrastructure.
We've been enduring three decades of budget cuts, reduction and elimination of capabilities, laughably inept procurement system, shortages in personnel and general political and public opinion apathy. The only thing the conflict in Ukraine has changed is that our politicians pretend to care about us while they keep slashing the military budget. We're only a pale shadow of what we used to be. Our only hope is that we retain enough people to maintain our expertise so we can pass it along should we ever need to grow our ranks again. But a lot has disappeared already.
If y'all go assymetric, just remember that there's an entire generation of young Men who went to Afghanistan and Iraq who know all the tactics inside and out, and love forests cause they grew up in them. You'd be walking yourselves into a trap by going asymmetric.
Let's just be honest about this guy's. The invasion would start at the border and end at the 1st barbecue. The only time Canadians and Americans are gonna fight is side by side.
@@minecraftfox4384 We know. We were there too, remember?
As a fellow Canadian I’ve been annoyed for my entire lifetime that there is no party I can vote for that could reasonably expected to win an election, and would actually invest in our military. Our politicians do ya’ll dirty and it hurts to watch.
gigidy?
Former Canadian anti armour guy here. I was stoked when we got Leopard 2s, as they are better than Abrams, but not better enough to help with being out numbered that bad.
When I joined we had 2 anti air systems. When I got out we had none. They told us we were moving from Afghan war style fighting to conventional training for a near peer enemy, so I asked at a CO's hour what near peer enemy has no aircraft.
I mean.. Peer for us means like.. Yemen at this point. Not even the Houthis- they actually have stuff.
Most important are the snowball brigades. This is a winter force that exists in every part of Canada using advanced weapons, snowballs with enhancements. The nose-flattener has a doorknob or other such item within the core of the snowball. The ear-tugger has fishing hooks and there are other top secret snowballs that I am not free to divulge at this time.
As a CAF Veteran, I can confirm, we are severely under-armed.
Budget cuts from both the Left and the Right have put us in the position we're in. When Diefenbaker cancelled the Avro Arrow, everything went down hill from there.
Afghanistan really brought home how far we've fallen. The sizable Ukrainian-Canadian population has put the politicians on alert to avoid cuts that would affect our, presently clandestine, operations in Ukraine.

@@Eyebuck Maybe, but honestly I think it would be way more beneficial for Canada to focus on providing logistic and material support for the US rather than building up combat capabilites. Canada is pretty well protected even without a huge army.

Guy who used to build VLS cells here. The statement is accurate. Reloading them at sea is highly difficult and dangerous. It's a delicate operation, requiring time and precision. Even in a flat calm, it's very hard to reload the cells, and you don't want to try hoisting high explosives over your billion dollar ship in rough seas.
Even worse, the USN has been working on a system to "unrep" VLSs for... 30 years, now? Off and on. Mostly off. And we're still essentially at Square Zero.
Even worse than *that*, possibly, is the sad state of the *tender* fleet -- the ships required to reload VLSs *even in port*, at remote anchorages like Guam.
Huh, didn't think I'd see you here.
Correct me if I'm wrong if you can/are allowed. But from my understanding with the vls system you don't so much reload the launcher tube like you would with say a rpg. Tube stays ordnance replaced. You actually swap the the launchers. So more relatable to using a javelin in the sense of after firing it your clicking in a whole new launching apparatus to the targeting device. That being the ship in this case.
@@high633 Correct. That's part of the issue. It's a much more involved process than just slotting a new missile in where the old one used to be.
@@mageleader3699 I hope our guy sees this because uh, look I know he reloads air defense systems rain or shine, but he does that on land.
Generally, the land is not moving at a noticeable speed.
Although maybe I'm wrong, HLC do y'all train to reload your systems during an earthquake?
Genuine question that seems like something just crazy enough for someone to order. "This geographical region is subject to frequent avalanches and landslides, ALL air defense units in this AOR shall train to reload during an avalanche or landslide."

This was awesome! Thank you for being respectful and not roasting us too badly (I'm sure it wasn't easy to do lol) also our 12 frigates are guided missile frigates and the main armament for them are anti ship and anti air missiles but as far as I know its only our aircraft and naval vessels that use missiles.
"Who hurt you, America?"
IIRC one of our first big international acts was trying to pay tribute to Mediterranean pirates like every other European nation to protect our boats, but late fees ended up being repaid with violence. This sort of thing is why the Constitution says Congress can provide and maintain a navy in perpetuity but an army's funding was limited to two years per congressional agreement, being on the other side of the ocean necessitates boats in the water WAY more than boots on the ground.
If I'm remembering The Fat Electrician's video on it, they started hiking the price up, and doubled it when Jefferson came to power, because he had gotten elected effectively off saying they weren't going to be paying the pirates anymore.
The 2A effectively meant that we had the ability to call on a military force at a moment's notice for purposes of repelling invasions while a proper army was trained up. Because we were separated by an ocean that required months to cross, the opinion was that we would have time to respond to any gentlemanly declaration of war. However, since ships were a significant investment, and took a long time to manfacture, a standing Navy was needed not just to defend our trade routes, but as a screening force from said invasions.
If the US and Canada went to war, we’d just both spend the time around campfires telling stories of our deployments elsewhere. No beef between Canada and the US 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇨🇦

Especially if Florida wins on Monday.

Canada doesn’t need to worry about defense spending. They know full well that we won’t allow anyone to threaten our northern border by invading them.
Unless Trump goes in, he actively said he will allow countries to invade Canada...
You can blame that attitude on which ever president pressured our PM to tank the AVRO arrow program so much national pride was wrapped up in that, once it got cancelled the majority of the public was like *fine* you wanna meddle you can defend us. god knows you'd have enough weapons to hand out ;p
Oh, we pay for that! Why do you think it's more profitable for an American company to buy Canadian lumber, ship it to and repackage it in the U.S, sell most of there, then ship the rest back up to Canada (or literally anywhere else)? And that's just the first way! You guys get massive discounts on basically every Canadian product.
I recall a video that made this point. You can either A) go through Canada's southern border for 100s or 1000s of miles all while fighting the US, the most powerful military in the world or B) Invade Canada from the North through 1000s of miles of untamed and harsh wilderness to finally get to its major cities only to get hit by America anyhow as many are within 100 miles of the US border.

They’re trying to figure out a way to reload VLS at sea, but right now the most effective way looks like being able to quickly convert smaller harbors into bases to reload instead of having to go back to Hawaii or Guam or similar sized bases

Had a great afternoon in Montreal, sharing drinks, cigars, and stories with a Canadian army Captain just back from Afghanistan.
He threw some shade my way, asking if I should feel guilty over "trading with the enemy," via a very nice Cuban cigar.
"Trading with the enemy? No, sir. I'm burning his crops!" 😅
Umm, Cuba is not our enemy. Remember who our Prime Minister is, son of the great Fidel Castro. Lol

I'm a Canadian, but have some US friends, would hate to see a conflict happen but can't imagine it. If anyone else were to invade though I can definitely see both countries fighting like hell for the other, our bonds go deep.

Short version of this entire series: everyone else's militarys are designed to fight and win against another country or two, America's military is designed to fight multiple CONTINENTS.
Last I heard, US Military doctrine was to have the capability to fight 2 near-peer (IE Russia and China) wars at the same time. There's a reason so much of the US Armed Forces is dedicated to logistics.
It reminds me of the British Empire’s policy of requiring their navy to be able to take the next three biggest navies at once, ensuring their dominance at sea and their safety as a nation and an empire. Of course, that wouldn’t last, and it slipped to the next two navies, then just beating the next biggest navy, and around that time Germany started building the High Seas Fleet to try to scare Britain with the amount of trouble it would be to destroy them. Then WW1 and the Battle of Jutland happened, and the empire started coming apart. Interesting topic!
@@TotallyDapperWell the Battle of Jutland was bad for the British as they technically lost but the entire German navy was almost completely destroyed while the British had many many fleets in or out in other seas.
The U boats did more damage than anything really to the Royal Navy.
And the Canadian military is designed to sit there and deflect criticism of our insufficient nato/norad contribution
@appa609 Nah the Canadian military is there to commit war crimes for the rest of NATO

Maple syrup: the greatest American food.
The Canadian economy is highly dependent on the United States. They are our main trade partner, with more than 2.4 billion usd in trade per day. Totalling roughly 908 billion usd in 2022 alone. As much as us Canadians like to make fun of Americans, we also have a deep respect for their ability to not only help protect us from foreign enemies but also the impact they have on our economy.
CSOR is like a mix of Rangers and green berets
As a mexican, I see no difference between y’all two, like none, so we don’t understand why y’all make jokes when y’all are basically the same thing.
Political interference from America's enemy now learned to undermine Canada and USA relations via injecting immigrant populations and getting them to push other interests to outpopulate the original.
This is even before you get into the fact that both nations are far more culturally and geographically interconnected then some people in both would like to admit, and there's been a lot of errors made by both nations in efforts to try to accurately survey the borders, as well as some still ongoing low key border disputes that have mostly been ignored to focus on more important stuff. So much so that at some point we here in the US just said fuck it, Canada's the one exception to our not recognizing anyone's claims of dual citizenship, in large part due to the sheer number of people who had in effect had their nationalities switched for them several times as a result of more accurate surveys.

Got a few things wrong with the boat bit. The Ticonderogas dont use the arm launchers anymore and haven't for like 15 years. And all the Ticonderogas that had the arm launchers have been retired.
And for reloading VLS at sea, the Navy is experimenting with doing that. Main problem is that the canisters are very fragile and with the sea moving and two ships moving, there's a lot of room for stuff to bump and break. Thats why we do it ashore. Its not like whdn reloading patriot on solid ground.

As a Canadian veteran, i just want to say great video. We've been saying spend more money for decades now.
Thank you! My favorite video I’ve seen this week!!! I love our relationship with USA :). Us Canadians have more secret weapons too you didn’t mention. Turn keys off on anything nuclear that you have as your uranium comes from Canada… and also, add into our arsenal, everything every other country in the world owns, because we have friends. P.s. check for scorch marks under kitchen stairs in your White House, from the last time we set it ablaze if you doubt our capability. Hahahahaha. Glad to have you as a friend of Canada too :). You are welcome to see our howitzers on display in the Rocky Mountains in winter, we shoot overhanging snow to start avalanches to prevent unsafe build up. They have their own permanent pads, beside the highway and everything. lol.
Former U.S. Navy sailor here. I was a Fire Controlman and work on the MK 15 CIWS and I’m happy that you mentioned the CIWS. As for the VLS the only time I have seen the VLS was being loaded in port with a crane. But that is a question the a Gunners Mate have to answer as they are the ones that maintain and load them. But from my observation I believe it’s true. I wouldn’t want to be loading missile in the VLS while in sea as the ship is listing side to side.
I added a comment earlier saying that we can't reload VLS cells while underway, but the Navy is working on a system to do that.
They're working on reloading VLS at sea, the best bet would probably be a specialized reloading ship but with the Navy's track record on shipbuilding I doubt that will happen.
Sandboxx recently made a video about VLS reloading while underway. It’s a great watch
Hey hey hey there bud! THE GREAT WHITE NORTH TIME
this aint gunna end well for you bud lmao, go cats
@@kevinsierra482 It's not gonna end well but I'm just happy he's doing Canada :D
Ex RCN, current RCAF. I served on the HMCS ALGONQUIN for 12 years. I can assure you the the VLS system must indeed be reloaded alongside. It's usually a multi day affair.
Navy has been trying to figure out reloading VLS systems for decades. The first Arleigh Burkes came with cranes to reload at sea, but it wasn’t viable and were removed. It’s hard to reload giant rockets that explode on a moving surface like water.
you forgot about the best canadian special forces the Canadian geese with numbers around 3.2 million currently in the USA
I'm just curious because I know they're called Candian Geese but you do realize a lot of them live year round in the northern States like mine, right? Just like I happen to know if one or more gets attached to you it will fight anyone or anything for you if that person doesn't reassure them. At which point they will decide to just keep an eye on your location and let you be if you don't play stupid games. Heck, I share spaces with the wild ones all the time but it's the non-native swans that take me pulling out a special level of crazy to convince to give me some space without ever touching them and those geese avoid.
The scary thing about a war vs Canada isn't the war itself, but the post-war. You think Iraq and Afghanistan was an occupation nightmare? Well... we look like Americans (ie. multicultural like the US), often sound like Americans, behave like Americans, and are mostly avid violent hockey fans. Considering how much trouble the US has with keeping the Mexican border shut, Canadians can very easily cross our border with the US, and cause havoc.
Your only way to find an infiltrating Canadian is to catch us apologizing. If you don't catch us, we'll make _you_ sorry. 😇
Yeah, especially out here in the west. A 1 mile clear cut and some very grouchy hillbillies with hair triggers are all that stand in your way. Also, Ive shot with the guys in Unit 66 when they use to come down for rifle matches before cvd ruined the border. I dont want them to be able to see me and vice versa.
so like sleeper cells?
Ask any American veteran of Afghanistan or Iraq to imagine a scenario where the people they're occupying look and sound just like Americans and can easily gain access to every American city.
Oh we could easily shut the boarders down but the powers that be would much rather have them open because they want votes. It would be pretty damn simple to shut both boarders down. Make a law that every state has to rotate the national guard and as part of veterans pension secure the boarder and patrol it. But nahhh the idiots in Washington are to worried about masks and insider trading and evil trump...
The counterpoint here is that that goes both ways.

@@dr.floridamanphd NATO vs NATO really. I do believe most of Europe is NATO.
@@_DMNO_they are but we’re the largest, most well equipped member.
Most of the EU is in NATO, so its more like if the US leaves NATO and then fights the EU. The EU is actually a copy of how the US is supposed to work, our states are supposed to act like separate countries with the federal Gov keeping peace between them.
This is a great summary of the current day situation.
I don’t know how interested are in historical military events, but I would love to see a summary for Canada compared to the US.
VLS cells can currently only be loaded at sea state 1 or 2 which is rare at sea so it happens in port because it’s just easier then trying to find calm waters. The navy is working on ways to do it at up to sea state 5 or 6
Canada and the US are pretty much one country where the defense of North America is concerned (NORAD, NATO, Canada-U.S. Civil Assistance Plan, Combined Defense Plan). When I was in the Army just about every major operation that I was on also included Canadians. There were Canadians training with us at Irwin and Polk and we spent some time at a base in Canada before going to Germany, where there also were Canadians training with us.
_shivers_ Polk. I wonder how many CAF folks would visit and take a deep whiff before going "Smells like crimes against humanity. Smells like home for me."
Hey I come from a Canadian military family my uncles and my dad fought in ww2 but thank God they all made it home especially my uncle who was a gunner in RAF
I have seen so much of your content in passing. Subbed.
*This may be a misconception in many cases as to what the CAF is today. However, we need to make up the numbers which we don't have. Which results in more training, most trades do 5x the amount as American couterpart. Every CAF BMQ recruit, is indoc'd at the same location called CFLRS. There they teach you how to be a soldier before your trade.
The role of Canadian Frigate is to defend American Aircraft Carriers. They are defensive ships to protest you sailors.

Youre telling me you sat there straight faced and are telling me that our spaceforce a literal faction of the US military... are literally the guardians of the galaxy??
