Mark Anthony Graham (May 17, 1973 in Gordon Town, Jamaica - September 4, 2006 in Panjwaii, Afghanistan) was a Canadian Olympic athlete and soldier who died while participating in Operation Medusa during the NATO mission in Afghanistan. Graham grew up in Hamilton, Ontario, lived in Calgary, Alberta and had been stationed at CFB Petawawa in Ontario. He attended Chedoke Middle School and then Sir Allan MacNab Secondary School in Hamilton, then the University of Nebraska and later Kent State in Ohio on track-and-field scholarships. On September 4, 2006 Graham was killed in a friendly fire incident when two USAF A-10 Thunderbolts fired on his platoon, having mistaken them for Taliban insurgents. www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/report-says-american-pilot-responsible-for-canadian-soldiers-death/article1078359/ www.cbc.ca/1.569572

If only our government spent more than 0.9% of the GDP on national defense, we'd be even better than we already are. We should be spending 2-3% easy, which is more comparable to all of the most advanced militaries in the world. We should be spending more on the navy seeing as we have a massive coast. Currently, we rely on the US for naval support.
Cs go giveaway Guy - Why not? It's good for economy, it's good for world influence, It's good for international dealings, good for international relations, and it makes us more independent as a country. Why wait for war when we can be ready always? I live near a military base, and when we watch our navy ships go by it's utterly embarrassing. They are rusted and dated, and can barely move. Even Australia, our twin colonial brother spends 2%, and has a more prestigious and respected military. We're the second largest country on earth and we can't even defend it currently... We have to rely on big brother USA, and that means we owe them when it comes to trade deals. We have the money.. We can spend 2% of our income to protect our country. Hell, I'm sure you spend more than that for house insurance, and medical coverage, surely. Our country state should do the same.
Yes I 100% agree, we dont even have enough ships to guard our coastline. Especially in the North where there are hardly ever any ships up there on patrol, any other country could just waltz in their and take the area.
In a town called Nunspeet there live alot of my friends, Whom I often visit, and still to this day, I can see many Canadian flags hanging from the windows of houses, what you guys did for us in ww2 hasn't gone by unnoticed, thanks...
i like seeing this video, one because it is informative. the second is because i look at Pte. Mark Graham and see how he loves it there and how they are family. glad to see him smiling and loving the feeling of family in the military. RIP. Pte. Mark Graham, your death will not go in vain.
How?? I went down to newyork to enlist in the United States marine corps and they said I needed to revoke my Canadian citizenship to enlist in any branch. Did your get to keep your citizenship?? I'm now headed back up to Canada to enlist because they accept duel citizens.
+Evan Nevidomsky yes, i lost my canadian citizen ship during the process. it wasnt a big deal to me since i was already living in the states. its easy to get it back after youre finished serving though so keep that in mind
my cousin served alongside Canadian GI's and told me they where well trained, reliable soldiers. i look forward to serving alongside someday now that i am also in the dutch army.
@CDLkooper142 I'm 17 and I joined the army reserves when I was 16, it is not to be taken lightly.It is pretty hard and stressful at times, just begin with your goal in mind and stay focused on your goal. If you stay focused and determined I assure you that you will love it and see the guys that you go through BMQ with as a second family, cause I know that I do.
From Captain J.B. Paulin in a speech given at the Empire Club of Canada, Toronto, Ontario, on May 23, 1918. They are called “The storm troops of the British Empire” by the Kaiser, and his own “storm troops” are the biggest men of his various divisions; and when he speaks of the Canadians as being the “storm troops,” it means that in his estimation, they are the best troops of the British Empire.
take your time finish school first,and be patient as the process takes months even a year just to be able to go get to go to basic military qualification ( I know from experience), also stay out of trouble a record no matter how small can effect your career before you even start it. Good luck to you :)
I am American. I plan on joining the Canadian military in a few years after I'm done with school. I will join, learn skills and serve happily, and move into Canada afterwords, becoming a chef, and hunting on the land with the skills I learned. Six years left, I'm comming!
@patlap1990 Don't get your hopes up on that one any time soon. Task Force 1-11 is the final Battle Group going to Afghanistan. They left two days ago. As of December our operations in Afghanistan are going to be training only, and for that you need Mod 6; which gets you your Master Corporal rank. There are still plenty of other opportunities, just let them know when you get to your unit what courses you want to take, and don't turn down any that they offer, even if it is not one you wanted.
Even though I'm from the us. I have a good friend in Canada that's joining the army. I myself am joining the marines and I hope we meet in combat. Semper fi and carry on.
thank u for that im pround to call you my friend to and i like how u show us that their are actully amercians who like us and just dont hate on us all the time
Thanks buddy ! how long does it take to get a diploma and how hard is it ? (im sure I could just search this, but you seam helpful :P :) ) .. and how hard do you expect the RCMP course is ? (I play alot of sports and work out, I also have high 80's grades) anyways thanks for the help !
from the primary reserve, yes it did. At the time it wasn't open and thus they would not let me apply. So I applied for field engineer, with the infantry as my second choice. The process is long and slow sometimes. An opening in the infantry came up and a month later I was puking my guts out during PT in Meaford Ontario. lol
@patlap1990 Borden is a good base. Don't get too stressed about Basic. They play games with you intentionally. Things don't make sense for a reason, and you will not make all of your timings; it's intentional. Just take the punishment and keep your mouth shut and you won't get into trouble. It's actually a lot of fun.
You can but you have to do something called a component transfer, and the trade has to open for intake for you to even apply. It took me 18 months to get in that way. Best bet is to just apply for reg force if that is what you want.
@xFogxofxWarx thanks a lot for the tips! I figure I'm juste going to keep giving 150% of my efforts no matter what they say!! I'm looking forward to the experience!! I'm looking forward to have the opportunity to go overseas!!!
@chadberry75 It's not full, the Training Schools are full, when people graduate, it will open again. Trades like JAG Lawyers, Physicians or Dentists ARE full, and this until they say otherwise.
The cool thing is, I plan on joining the RMC (Royal Military College) and becoming a Captain in only 4 years of schooling. I bet it will be fun, and challenging
Officer Cadets at RMC do not skip ranks simply because of their education. The only trades in the Forces that are commissioned at the rank of Captain or Lt(N) from the outset are trades that require professional qualifications outside of the Forces e.g. Medical Officers (must already be qualified physicians before enrollment), Legal Officers (must already be qualified lawyers before enrollment) etc. None of these trades are available as direct enrollment following ROTP at RMC. RMC graduates are promoted from the rank of Officer Cadet to Lieutenant upon graduation. Any deviation from this would be incredibly rare. Back up your story about becoming a captain after only four years at RMC, with a link to an official DND source, and I will retract my post. ,
My dad and grandfather were in the army in S. Korea (mandatory), so I think I have to go join the Canadian Forces as I have a Canadian nationality, but my mom says it's too dangerous to go overseas and that the education and pay is pretty low, is that true at all?
@xFogxofxWarx I'm going in as a vehicule tech! Can't wait to be there! I have to do the full soldiers training a St-Jean at the recruits school and afterwards I'll be going to borden ontario for 8 months at the canadian forces mechanics school!!! Its only 2 days away!! starting basic training saturday!!!
I would assume that your buddy is pretty checked out as he is in Recce. Sometimes you gotta be in the right place at the the right time to go over seas. generally it is a few years between deployments as a battalion, but sometimes smaller tours come up where they will send just a company of men. I got 3 of those.
I served in the regular force infantry, and I deployed 3 times in 4 years. Most of the guys I was in with were sent overseas a lot as well. If you don't go overseas and you are in an operational unit (especially infantry) then you are probably not good enough to go overseas, and your career will be short
ohh so is it hard to get into infantry though? would it require a lot of studying and high marks on the cfat? or is it the easiest field to get into? thanks in advance :)
@patlap1990 What tubby doesn't tell you is that the Marines are like their own military, they have their own trades; from infantry, to pilots, to photographers and cooks. What trade are you going?
@xFogxofxWarx Don't know what he is but definatly not a Marine! at least...not in reality...Maybe in his own little world! Personally I'm very proud of the Canadian forces and It has been a childhood dream to be part of them and I'm finally in! I'm starting my basic training at St-Jean saturday! Can't wait to be there its going to be awesome!!! No matter what anyone will ever say Canadian soldiers are the best!!!
max von gallwitz, the top german field general in ww1, sayd something about the canadian army he had just come up against at the battle of the somme, it was "never before have i seen such lions led by such lambs" and he was refering to the skill and fighting spirit of the canadian army and the dumbness of the english generals who was sending them to die by the thousands on pointless missions. there is lots of historical facts that point towards canadas military greatness, but few read about them
@0neofthem Pte Mark Graham was killed in a friendly fire incident when an American A-10 Thunderbolt II mistakenly straffed his platoons position. Another soldier whom was from my local area was also wounded in the incident. In 2008 he was killed in an IED attack, his name was Robert Mark McLaren ~Thanato
@jordan868686 no Apache has ever engaged Canadian Soldiers and caused a casualtie. As for as I am aware no Apache has engaged Canadian Soldiers. I love seeing an apache over head because it sends Timmy running for the pichfork to look like a farmer instead of the RPG because he will soon be dead. ~Thanato
4:46 I salute Pte Mark Graham. He died from a friendly fire from a US A-10 thunderbolts in Afghanistan. I believe there was some sort of investigation, but i lost track of the story. I just hope there was justice for him and his family, for their loss.
Reg force infantry has a waiting list a kilometer long dude. Hell i wanna CT from the reserves and they still have no idea how long that'll be. Just wait and hope.
I was even just reading about Pte Graham in White School, Black memories by Ret. CWO Barnes. As a Royal, its saddening to know how a fellow Royal passed. My condolences to the Graham family. Pro Patria.
@Toronto324 We dont have 600+ fighter jets, sorry. We barely have 100 operation CF18's and currently, 0 CF35 400 tanks is a stretch too. We do have 66 Leopard 1 C2's and a sketchy number of Leopard2's which are loaned, replacement for loans, being converted, for training, etc.. We have probably 140 operation tanks of the two classes Ships, we have 3 DDG, 12 FFG, and 4 SSK, 2 AOR, and 12 Coastal Defence ships One day we will have quantitative edge to go along with our Qualitative edge.
It would have been faster if I left the reserves, but I would have had to wait 6 months to even apply. At the time I was serving under a full time contract. So rather than be unemployed while applying I decided it would be best to earn a pay cheque while I wait to join the Reg force. even though it took a long time.
greetings private007chief i always wanted to join our canadian armed forces thanks to all of our brave men and women thats risk there lives everyday to keep our great country safe and try to make a differents in the world :) for all the men and wonmen that are in the canadian forces stay stronge and stay safe and come back home i am proud to be canadian. we as canadians love u all i salute u all for any soliders on youtube please send me a video response i have friends and family in the army

Ships, we have 3 DDG, 12 FFG, and 4 SSK, 2 AOR, and 12 Coastal Defence ships
One day we will have quantitative edge to go along with our Qualitative edge.
@mgdisthebest It's a UAV, unmanned aerial vehicle or drone.
@PcGamerPaul They reduced it back down to 16 about 3 weeks afterwards! :D
Thumb this up as well!
For me it's a family tradition my great grandfather was my grandfather was and so was my dad. Guess it runs in the bloodline
That sounds about like being in the U.S. Army and life must be good for some of the troops there.
It would have been faster if I left the reserves, but I would have had to wait 6 months to even apply. At the time I was serving under a full time contract. So rather than be unemployed while applying I decided it would be best to earn a pay cheque while I wait to join the Reg force. even though it took a long time.
I was wondering,
if you join as a reserve infantry,
could you switch to full time as an infanteer?
It’s possible
I can't wait to join the army
