Interesting Note on Canadian Future Armor.

[thatguy96]

They're pissed, but to be perfectly honest, they've had 0 chances to show themselves since Korea. The French present a totally different scenario from the Canadians, even more so within NATO. French NATO forces cannot be places under a command from another nation, nor are they required to participate in NATO operations. Canadian forces participating in NATO operations can be placed under the command of whoever the NATO high command decides, and NATO forces committed to NATO high command can be deployed where ever that command decides.

Canada also doesn't have areas of previous colonial influence and does not deloy itself unilaterally to stabilize situations in places like Cote D Ivoire. They are a North American Army without the ability to move their heavy armor rapidly via air and have declined to deloy it consistantly since Korea. It is a budgetary hindrance in my opinion and has served no operational purpose in nearing 50 years. The Canadians provide a unique example to experiment with an all wheeled forces as I have said before, and the tankers will fume, but at the end of the day they're soldiers and they'll do what they're told.
