  • Woah, calm down! ...

    Woah, calm down! Who said Canadians are better than Americans? I know I didn't and anyway all this video is about is sniping, not the whole military, for the record the U.S.A. obviously has a bigger military but, arguably, not the best! Every military in the world is different and is trained differently, therefore they should not be compared unless they are at war. P.S. I wouldn't say USMC snipers are the best, I would say they're the same as any sniper from Canada the U.K. and so on.......

  • I personally would ...

    I personally would be more enthusiastic/happy w/ the US if it did call itself an Empire (and stopped w/ all that 'political correctness' BS). And instituted a Foreign Legion (in name and deed). :)

  • Stop talking, ...

    Stop talking, you're making us Canadians look bad. Last time I checked Speech-To-Text doesn't put in the worst punctuation I've ever seen.

    And btw, Baseball is a great sport, and requires (arguably) the highest reaction timing from it's athletes.

    i cant spell??? Your so F**king stupid that you cant even handle that I am using txt speak. I bet you dont even know what that is.... Slow stupid American. And also Canadian Snipers are the best in the world. Sorry America but you still have that gay sport where you hit balls around with a long hard shaft. Oh yeah it's called baseball. PS this is not to offend any Americans i am simply reversing his comment about us still having hockey to them still having baseball.
