With respect to WW1 Canada was there years before the U.S. got their feet wet.
Using your standard- -that theose Canadians fighting in Iraq are fighting for Canada- -you want to try that again?
From the onset of war in Europe in August 1914 many Americans travelled to Europe and offered their volunteer services to the Allied nations (typically Britain or France) in the war against the Central Powers.

I think you ought to quit while you're behind.

What you've produced or what the Canadian government says is irrelevant to the fact that a number of Canadians are fighting on the side of the U.S. in Iraq.
No more so than that those Americans were fighting on the Allied side in 1914, even though they wore British or Fench uniforms.

Just because they're fighting on the side of the U.S. does not make them any less Canadian
Just because those men were fighting in British or French unforms makes then no less Americans.
