It appears the Canadian Armed Forces aren't the only one "ill equipped". I see the georgy boy has also found a way around the draft.

As of May 2007, there were 177 Canadians serving in the U.S. armed forces. Data on how many have been in Iraq are not available.

This is undoubtedly very, very low. I work with a guy born in NB, who just finished 5 years with the US Marine Corps. In many Canadian Indian reservations, it is a tradition for young men looking for adventure to join the US military........35,000 Canadians served in Vietnam under the US flag.

I'd bet the number of Canadians in the US military is well into the thousands.
