All political and military leaders, who have been responsible for starting wars, should be put on trial, no if ands or buts.
Enough farting around on Iran & Nukes

They should have all taken them all to US, Britain, Canada and Russia and given high profile jobs working in the best labs, and R&D facilities?
Seasons Greetings gopher, your point is of course the alleged point behind WW2. However, in that case the war was clearly lost by the west who themselves never once applied the statutes. But we have all seen the movies and we have all been informed of these best of intentions for others. Was I dreaming or were your upcoming nuptuals puplished in these threads?
Those in America who funded Hitler and the mazing science that forever changed our world were fully aware they'd be bring it all home post war and profit twice on the invesment.
And charged with what, and of course what penalty? Who would try them, somebody had to have done something to cause a was even though they didn't fire the first shot. Wars take atleast two people. Everyone is the cause, even those who protest.
And Canada did what again to prevent Hitler from coming into power? Even more involved than we were. ("Peace in our time")

Season's greetings to you! Actually, those are my dreams ~ marriage to a wealthy heiress.

Yup. I'm all for punishing the Nazis for their horrendous crimes. But the punishment should have been equally dished out to those Nazis on Wall Street who financed Hitler's war machinery.

My condolences to your Uncle, however Dunkirk is a much bigger act of resistance that the world would recognize as being mostly Canadians who died. Is that where your fanatical support for Israel comes from no matter what acts the commit?
BTW Dunkirk was a year earlier, nice (not) to know you take all those Canadians as being not worth remembering compared to a single relative of yours being killed. Nor have you admitted that if Isreal counts people in shock and suffering anxiety as casualities then the casuality list in Gaza is approaching 1.5 million.

Totally true though, Israel counts being scared as being a causality, that would mean any Palestinian who was scared at any time in operation Cast Lead is a causality. The gem is there because they put it there. What was their old story for the people of Gaza, if there weren't with Hamas already they eventually would have so it is fine that they die before that event happened.
" During Operation Cast Lead (27 Dec 2008 - 18 Jan 2009), 571 rockets and 205 mortar shells landed in Israeli territory. Magen David Adom personnel treated and evacuated a total of 770 casualties: 4 fatalities, 4 severely wounded, 11 moderately and 167 lightly wounded. An additional 584 persons suffered from shock and anxiety syndrome.
A history lesson:
Ahhhhh.....there were no Canadians as such at the evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940.
I thought, in my original reply, you were talking about DIEPPE, in 1943, which was the FIRST major deployment of Canadian infantry against the Germans.
Therefore my uncle, and the air forces arrayed against Germany in the years 1939-43 were the earliest Canadian participation against the Germans.
Which was my point.
When a person is listed as a 'causality' does it matter if they are in Israel of Gaza. I would think one term covers both groups.
Whoops, my bad, that is the battle that popped into mind.
I had assumed the person below was not the only Canadian there but certainly not in the numbers I had pictured. Luckily for me nobody gets sent to the corner for being in error, I will verify the names and dates are checked before posting. Seems the last time this happened I had a hell of a time finding somebody in the USSR that was in front of a tank with just a big stick.

Operation Dynamo
Battle of the Atlantic Awards CMM, DSC, CD, Rear Admiral Robert Walter Timbrell, CMM, DSC, CD, Royal Canadian Navy (February 1, 1920 – April 11, 2006) was the first Canadian to be decorated with the Distinguished Service Cross during the Second World War. This followed his part in Operation Dynamo where he was personally responsible for the evacuation of 900 troops from the beaches of Dunkirk.
I would also suggest that Germany was aware of Canada the same day she formerly declared war, that is my point.
Not to be a stickler for detail, but I trust you did notice the period after "167 lightly wounded", denoting the end of the casualty list. Perhaps Tonnington would be so kind as to offer you a free grammar lesson.
Looks to me like it's not Israel counting "being scared" as a casualty, it's you.
