Sure! Here you go! A Canadian film maker made a documentary and talks of Canada's role as part of the RAF Bomber Command and one episode raised all kinds of hell with regards to Dresden. You need to look in the right margin for a link there.

Also a neat tidbit about how RCAF Vets tried sueing the filmaker to no avail.

Bombing of Dresden



The Canadian Bomber group was group no. 6. No where can I find that that bomber group was involved in Dresden.

He isn't wrong Gh.

It's kind of like how Canada was involved in Vietnam.


So, he's talking about Canadians that were flying for the RAF. The ROYAL AIR FORCE. The British air force. He specifically stated the RCAF.

Ok. So you're saying that the RCAF didn't bomb cities in WW2?

Oh my.

When you invade a country or bomb an installation, you've declared war and the victim can establish his own terms. At least when Bush invaded Iraq it was after about 6 warnings to Saddam who made the grave mistake of not paying attention to business.

Why do you continually insist on trotting out your stupidity for all to see?

Well, Gerry, when I don't know something I at least have the intelligence to look it up and you could have done the same!

Did you bother reading what I quoted and what I highlighted? No of course you didn't, because if you had, you would not have supplied a link to Emperor Hirohito.

No I read your 3 word post- "who was Hirohito", I guess I made the stupid mistake of thinking a post might stand on its own. :lol:

Show me where I said that. You were talking about Dresden. I was talking about Dresden. The city that the RAF AND The USAAF bombed.

Well yes I was talking specifically about Dresden. I also expanded because, well... you're Gerry.

You missed the post a few back that the other idiot made.

No, you expanded after I asked you for a link to the RCAF being involved in Dresden as THAT is what you claimed. Since you couldn't back up your claim you then expanded. Another case of eagle shouting "look over there".

You missed the post a few back that the other idiot made.


and I had quoted the pertinent part of the "other" idiots post. JLM just seems to have a comprehension problem. Probably stemming from dementia, contrary to his assertions.

My post included a quote. Most people of even moderate intelligence will read the quote first to know what the reply pertains to. It's called context.

Keep in mind I am not attacking the brave men of the RCAF in WW2. I am saying we were ALL IN IT TOGETHER.

No Canadian can say "oh the Americans deliberately bombed civillians but we didn't". History says otherwise.

WW2 was Total War and our countries were all deeply involved.
I never took it that way- I posted some links for everyone to see. I just tagged on your post is all.

I DID back it up! There is a documentary about it dipsh**. I gave you the link and told you where to get the other link. That Canadian education didn't help you much did it?

I was expanding on it because you're an azz. lol

Yeah and he missed that post and you got all Gerry on him.
