The Canadian Front

[BlackStar42]

Um... sniper rifles can shoot through helmets now? I thought militaries these days had better equipment than that. Unless they are out of the resources needed for bullet-proof helms or we just have bullets that make the word bullet-proof non-existant.

You know US military(in this strip), you could've just, you know, ASKED. I mean we're both civil contries. I'm sure we can talk it out....

Even if they could make a helmet sniper-proof, it would be far too heavy to wear. It's good for stopping shrapnel and pistol fire, that's about it.

Oh, and here's a relevant video about the War of 1812.

Am I the only one who caught the Modest Mouse lyric? It's Dashboard, which is a great song.

Actually the "bullet proof" helmet is pure fiction. Your average military helmet won't even stop a standard 7.62 round if it hits dead on, and our friendly Canadian is using a 50 cal. So, no, the helmet probably wouldn't stop it, and if it did, the bullet would probably knock his head off anyway.

You know, as a Canadian patriot, I approve of this realistic comic.

I find it pretty hilarious that you're always trying to shut down anyone who calls out your nonsense by calling people politically correct anti-US revisionists. LITERALLY no one in this thread had mentioned white people massacring native americans yet you bring that up like it proves your point that no damn 'libruls' can face the hard truth that white people aren't as awful as you claim we claim they are.

Anyway, good strip, even if I didn't know what Tim Hortons was...

So... Fallout then.
That's probably fine. Fallout's fine.

 

[blackrave]

50 years too soon
Also shouldn't there be more soldiers in power armor?

I recall learning if an event in history similar to this, I don't know the exact details I just remember hearing the words, British, White House and burnt to the ground.

If you are being serious then the war of 1812 was a fight between British and American forces. Canadians were still British and sailed a group of ships into American territory and bombarded DC ending in the White House being destroyed. American forces pushed into Canada (again, we did the same thing in the Revolutionary War) as far as Toronto.
If not... I have no sense of humor.

Canadians have sniper rifles?!

Correction: we have transeuranic apology rifles. We kill our enemies with our irrational inferiority complex.

Personally, I'd much rather market the Stephen Harper Human Shield. Shoot our stupid oil-mongering PM! Hate the asshat who doesn't give a shit about the Kyoto Protocol, don't hate the hapless soldiers behind him!

Nothing critical miss about this one.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Is it a great coincidence that I'm watching Red Dawn right now while seeing this pop up ? Yes! Yes, it is!

 

[StriderShinryu]

Canadians have sniper rifles?!

Yes we do.. and the bullets they fire are made of frozen maple syrup.

 

[Slycne]

Yes. In fact, the world record holder for the longest confirmed kill against a human combatant (or a human, for that matter), is a Canadian, a 1.54 miles, which is about 2.5 kilometers.

Actually the current record holder is a British Corporal. Though it did take him 9 shots to properly range the target and the only 45m less record for the Canadian was done in 3 shots.

 

[wintercoat]

Three pages and no mention of the Modest Mouse lyrics? I am disappoint.

Oh, those silly Canadians.

 

[Tono Makt]

Kay... I dont get it... Theres something funny here, I know, but Im not sure what it is...

The "sorry" after the Canadian does a headshot on the American soldier. We're notorious for being polite at the strangest of times.

 

[axlryder]

Because Canadians are polite, right?

....try harder guys.
