Ehh...not sure what you read. No one called any Canadians criminals, and neither Canada nor the US are militarily involved in Ukraine.
I read post #87. It's yours. It's confusing. In light of the fact that many Canadians are presently voluntarily leaving Canada to go fight for Ukraine in defense against Russia (and Americans aren't going there so American command is not an issue in this case), perhaps you could clarify the last two sentences of post #87, most particularly your last sentence. Here it is again for your convenience to review:

Those Canadians under American command weren't even allowed to step a foot into North Vietnam, they could only defend South Vietnam.
If those Canadians were criminals, then by the same logic, any Canadian who is supporting Ukraine against Russia would also be a criminal.
One of Canada's several Nazi monuments, this one honoring the Nazi Waffen SS, has had graffiti sprayed on it. The Nazi Waffen SS was notorious group of volunteers who specialized in rounding up and brutally murdering Jews, gays, the handicapped, Polish, and all other undesirable untermenschen (subhumans). This monument is in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Obviously if it was in America it would be torn down already (if even erected in the first place) but being Canada the government was labelled this act a "hate-crime" against heritage but has been lowered to an act of vandalization and is under investigation by local police.
I had no idea a country can have such monuments, maybe it's blown out of proportion idk...
(on a side note: I've been thinking to put a statue of Hitler in my country in eastern europe (nothing against Israel I even listen to Omer Adam sometimes lol) but it's a good strategy to keep russians and westerners out to a point where we can even leave nato/eu - cheapest way to do it)
Do you still want your eastern European country to leave NATO?
They weren't allied to the Nazis, they were members of the Nazi SS, and murdered Jewish & Polish women and children.
I think the monument was able to be created in the first place because anti-semitism was much much higher than it is today in Canada. Canada wasn't that sympathetic to European Jews in that time period and wasn't as opposed to Nazi ideology as we like to think today. In fact Canada basically told Britain that we did our service and WWII and Canada went 50% in WWII in comparison. Hence the much lower casualty rate despite WWII a more deadly conflict.
In Quebec especially Nazi-sympathizers were widespread and part of the provincial government.
Ethnic volunteers were organized under an umbrella of waffen SS as frontline fighting units. A Ukrainian peasant becoming a card holding member of the German Nazi party? Really? Russian propaganda is a genuine wmd covering the globe. It is NOT up to you to judge those people. The soviet crimes were never tried or prosecuted. They had heck of a choice between two evils.
The Russians are butthurt because some of those men kept on fighting the soviets until 1961 or so. The act of resistance to the soviets/russians is "nazism" as genuine Russian nazis view it. What's in for you?
Thank you Zoisite the link you posted is in support of this. Christya Freeland's grandfather was a Nazi who published propaganda to glamourize Nazis including the einsatzgruppen. He and the other Ukrainian Nazis was instrumental to bring Nazi rule over Ukraine. Here is another publication supporting what you have linked

Are you suggesting murderous totalitarianism is genetic? That Freeland, if she had her way, would turn Canada into a Neo-Nazi country?
