Good. We need to be humbled competatively sometimes. It'll just give our guys a goal to strive for next year.

Gee I wonder if Lon Horuichi trained them since he isn't too welcome in the U.S. anymore.

I hope this victory and the performance of the Canadian soldiers in Afganistan will kick start the government into spending our tax dollars on equipment, training and expansion of our forces. We have proved over and over we can get the job done. Now give us the ability to do it anywhere...anytime.

Striker, the liberal government will use this to say that our troops already have enough equipment and pay to do the job and thats why they are doing so good.

I'm going to make a lame excuse: The Canadians won because THEIR rifles still have flash hiders, bayonet lugs, and folding or collapsible stocks on them, all of which contribute to accuracy. Us poor post-ban shooters have a hard time hitting the target at ten feet because of the lack of these critical features.
Write your congressmen! We can't have the dirty Canucks beating us like that! Kidding, of course. I'm sure Canadians take baths at least as often as Americans, but the water's probably a bit colder on average. There are only two objections I'd have to moving to Canada: I don't want to learn to speak French (so avoid Quebec) and I ain't dipping no flag to no queen in a parade! CJ |

You may have beaten us in sniping but the newspaper article misspelled the word "honors". That makes us better spellers!

That is the way we spell honour. We spell armoury with a u as well. Litre instead of liter. Don't ask me why because I have no idea. Scarecrow I hope your wrong but.....Eggelton will use anything to divert attention away from his blunder about the prisoners..which I still haven't figured out what the big deal is. What the heck were we suppose to do with them? Wait..I know. Send them to Canada,give them landed refugee status,welfare and an apartment. Then in a few months citizenship..except they will have long since snuck into the States.[rolleyes] |

What is it with Canadians? Always trying to find anything that they are better at then Americans. Is your inferiority complex that bad? I suggest you start looking at what is wrong with your country before it slides into third world status.

I'm guessing that Scarecrows post was him showing pride in our Armed Forces members. Nothing wrong with waving the flag. I do it here all the time. |

I guess you are right. With all the minorities, rednecks, illeagal aliens, dumb ass liberals, Hatians etc in this country it is true that we can't spell or shoot. However, we can still bomb the hell out of you with our B52s if you screw with us too much. |

Striker, read on in Scarecrows posts he continues on with his US bashing. Since I have seen this guys posts lately he has a real attitude problem. As far as you go I have always enjoyed your comments.

Leave it to some asshole to take a good-natured (and well-earned) jab at us Americans, and turn it into a troll. Nice job. |

I don't want to bash the USA. The whole idea behind this post is to show Canada can actually play in the same league as the USA in some cases like snipering and stalking. And by me saying that the USA has been rated to have lower education standards doesn't make the fact that the USA has the strongest economy and military in the world disappear. Even GW has said that some serious education problems need to be solved, and we all know he isn't bashing the USA. I even changed my signature because some people took it for USA bashing.

Calling like it is ain't bashing, Scarecrow. You couldn't pay me enough to sacrifice my kids to the US public education system/monopoly. The advantages of our economy has DIRECTLY led to our ability to absorb a large number of uneducated, illiterate do-nothings, with little to no lashback. |

Sjsample, I made an observation hardly trolling, and all without calling someone names. Maybe you should go back to school with your kids and get an education. You have a nice day now.

Everything is cool. Just some good nature bantering between friends. I feel secure enough about being an American as not to take offense with the pride being shown by Canadians when they whip our butts in a contest. Like the officer said, having some first rate shooters like the Canadians ups the bar. Good for you and good for us. I was trying to be funny with jabbing at the English spelling of honors. Didn't mean to start a war on the education system. Keep up the good shooting. Those snipers from Princess Patricia is helping us out in dealing with the real bad guys. |

Dale, I apologize for my use of that particular derotative. However, as a fellow Michigander (I was forced to move to Indiana, honest), you should know the value of our Canadian brethren as well as I. I grew up in Detroit, and spend my weekends and summers drunk off my ass in Windsor, and learned all about Gynecology at Studio Four. And, back in 1979, when they smuggled several our our people out of Iran, I offically stopped referring to them as "those unwashed kanucks."

Hate to admit it Devil Dog, but you're 100% right. Army marksmanship training sucks, I'm here to tell you. Most of the guys in my Guard BN couldnt hit the broad side of a barn with their individual weapons either. I'm to the point where I've gotten so little time on the rifle range that I'd rathar carry my No1MkIII Lee Enfield into a combat situation as my marksmanship is at least competent with it. Thank God I'm not in the Infantry ^_^. I'd love to have some time with a USMC marksmanship instructor and course though, especially with those DMRs...

And don't forget that with the $ 89.72 (can) that Canada spends on it's military these soldiers are winning with some older equipment.

If its US I think its a little high...and be ware of posting pictures of those rifles, you may incur the interest of some spys from up north ^_^ such high tech weaponry. Its all because of those damn Qubecquois, seriously. Canada would be a pretty cool country if its politics wernt dominated by angry French liberal wanna-bees. It is cool, however, to see how a determined citizenry will resist a government's stupid plan to register firearms and shooters. So far the Canadian government has spent like half the GNP over ten years to register all the guns in Canada and everyone from individual shooters to local governments have told them to stuff it. I've spent some time up north goose hunting in the centeral part of British Columbia and found a very well(but clandestinely) armed citizenry. Even a few black rifles ^_^ As for the Canadian 'military'...damn all hosers! fetch me my matchlock and plug bayonet... |
