Isn't democracy wonderful. They feel free to walk out if they don't like their pay. Imagine if they pulled that on Saddam.

Honky, not all French Canadian are separatist. I like to pick on slo about it now and then, but I think he honestly feels he's Canadian. If the majority of them were traitors, they'd have won their separation bid.

They all are Treasonist- don't kid yourself. The onlly reason they didn't win is because of all the Non-French immigration into Qubec. Typical of thier French roots- when your back is turned they put the Knife in your back.

Iraq's army didn't put up much of a fight during the last invasion. I believe their morale was pretty low. Will take sweeping changes in their country before the Iraqi people once again have pride and believe in themselves. It's coming.

for a 50 $ you can buy for example glass of Vodka (or technical alcohol) , piece of t-hirt and matchbox ....

or sharp knife ....

50$ per month is 25 times what Saddam paid. Hard to believe but true. Of course- Saddam's Army came with "extras." Raping-looting - on the spot executions. Real fun. Yes- the Saddam Army beats the US Army all to pieces when it comes to fun.

Let's see.

Iraq's army has thrown out the British occupiers at least once.
Their army gained large experience during the Iran-Iraq war but as the both sides were too evenly matched they were not able to win - only draw.
Their pilots were highly skilled and well equipped. By the end of the war the Iraqian and Iranian pilots were the most combat experienced pilots of the world.

I suggest you read some military history before showing out the world your ignorance.
