Canadians have some of the best trained military in the world.
The US sends their own high profile units to Canada to get trained, especially when it comes to snipers.
Last I recall, most world records for sniping are held by Canadians, or people trained by Canadians.
Canada has long held a standard of quality over quantity, quite often the US sends their best to be trained here.
Add on the well known fact that Canadians are very well known for constantly coming up with some of the most fucked uo ways to commit war crimes when pushed too far (WW1 anyone?) And it becomes apparent why no one fucks with Canada
Everyone is always trying to be on our good side for a reason. US has numbers, and that’s pretty much it.
They would never win any kind of war against us.
How well equipped is the average US soldier to handle our climate and terrain?
Putting aside if that’s even how war works (it’s not), pretty much every nation has a story about how their warriors are the best.
In quantity, we suck balls. Our equipment is very last-generation, second-hand and worn out. Our main hope is that it doesn’t come to that. And, if it does, that someone more credible rescues us. Other than that, well, the article describes it pretty well.
