I keep tripping over this throwaway line in Mike Blanchfield’s interview with US ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra. Has anyone ever heard a Canadian express envy or frustration about the movie A Bridge Too Far, depicting the valiant but failed Operation Market Garden? What’s he talking about?

There were 1700 about WW2.
Certainly not all American films, but also very telling.
What the Canadians did was an extended and vicious campaign of liberation rather than securing a vital piece of infrastructure.
Typical Yankee gobbledygook thinking that whatever they got into was more important than it actually was
no thanks dude we did a Dieppe, we had our share of badly planned and failed 'operations'
we should send him tulips, it apparently burns him somehow
Credit to Band of Brothers for noting the role of Canadian engineers, working with the 101st, to evac some British Airborne survivors across the Rhine, btw. ;)
The Trump regime doesn’t seem to value or reward a strong sense of self awareness in its appointees.
