Scouts Could Take Canada and Mexico

Quote of the Day

US could take Canada with eight Scout Troops, a supply of Mountain Dew, beef jerky and .22LR.

Mexico is a bit more sporty. Need eight Venturing Crews with .223 AR-15s.

I suspect he is exaggerating. But he is the scout leader and would know better than I.

  1. I don’t know about much of the Canadian forces. But I did serve with them several times. Once in NORAD and a few times in the sandbox. They seemed military competent to me. Their F-18 pilots appeared to be on par with most other NATO tactical fighter pilots. Their armored infantry in their 8 wheeled piranha vehicles certainly kicked some ass in Afghanistan when we were rebuilding a hydroelectric power station. Their SOF guys were actually on par with all but our very, very best operators. I despise Turdo and their socialist government but their military has my undying respect and gratitude for standing with us in several hard spots

    • Oh, the actual Canadian troops are fine. I just don’t think their senior military or political leaders have any capacity to use them competently or in a timely manner before the Scouts parley with the populace and they decide a temporary government of kids that know to widely separate where they eat, excrete and sleep would be preferable to anything coming out of Ottawa.

      The vast majority of Canada’s population lives within 50 miles of the US border, and with enough Mountain Dew in their camelbaks, the Scouts could move that distance on foot over rough terrain to be in position within 3 days before anyone knows they are there. Certainly faster than the parasitic bureaucracy of Canadian government can act.

    • Tirno kinda beat me to it, but I was going to say that Canada’s military forces might be competent, but if the civilian leadership sets the typical Leftist, military-hating, highly-restrictive Rules of Engagement, the Scout troops will be running the country before any shots are fired.

      It doesn’t matter how good your skills, training, and equipment are if you’re not allowed to use any of them.

      Like you, I have nothing but respect for Canada’s military service-members. But their civilian government calls the shots, and they couldn’t pour water out of a boot if instructions were on the heel.

  3. As for Canada. They got good hunting, and mostly 1st. world, so it might be a place to co-opt.
    Mexico, NO F”IN WAY!!! We might as well go back to Afghanistan as try to take over Mexico.
    In both cases we should have had a lot tighter control on our border.
    But lets face it. All three of us are being destroyed by traitors from within.
    Mami-commie getting elected isn’t the first communist to do so. But he is one of the first to openly admit it to the electorate.
    And just like a cock-roach infestation. By the time you actually see one crawling around, you got a real big problem already.
    What the NYC/Virginia elections of last night tell us is that not only do they want communism. But it’s just OK to murder you, your wife and family to get it.
    And not that I disagree with Tirno.
    Ya, we got all the power and guns to take those places, but we don’t have the will to take back what is our own. What we going to truly do?
    And there ain’t no boy scouts anymore. The fags killed that off years ago.
    Just like they almost did to our military, government, and Canada.
    We need to clean up our own porch.

    • Don’t be too down on Scouts being co-ed these days.

      The girls learn to shoot better, faster than the boys.

      I have to clean a bunch of ego and video-game-related misinformation out of the heads of the boys before they start being able to receive coaching.

      They learn equally once you break them in to have self-awareness about the shots they take. I know they’re going to really take off when I ask questions like, “This one shot over here… what happened?” and they have an answer. That kid, boy or girl, is going to be splitting playing cards in half, edge-wise, before the end of the week.

      Even if you want to lament the loss of the Boy Scouts, you can still appreciate Scouts for what they are. I have nostalgia for a manual transmission Porsche from my teen years, doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying my all-wheel-drive 250HP Audi.
