My Wife is Canadian while spending time at her house while we dating I used to watch the Canadian History channel alot. I am amazed by the number of movies and shows the show regarding the Vietnam war. Were the Canadians involved and if so in what capacity. Also I have heard some where the the Australians were also. Can some one please shed a little light on this subject for me.

Australia and S. Korea had combat troops there.  The Philippines and I think Thailand had troops in non-combat roles.

For Canada:
10,000 canadians fought in the U.S. services during Viet Nam era.  Canadas main contribution was in supplies including ammunition, napalm, aircraft engines and explosives to the U.S. as well as direct aid to South Viet Nam
