Ann Coulter gets OWNED.

mkx, there is a difference between a nation being at war and a nation's people volunteering to go sign up for another nation's war. Canada never mobilized their own equipment or munitions in Viet Nam.

Her exact quote was "Canada sent troops to Viet Nam", and the word "sent" makes it untrue.

god,i really just dont like this woman.
she will modify any actual "truths" to fit her narrative,
which is one of almost constant bigotry,hate and divisiveness.
some people have postulated that it is all an act,but that makes her self-aggrandizing even that more repugnant.
to twist facts,quotes and practice revisionist history just to perpetuate
her hatred for those she disagrees with is not only disgusting,but weak
and lacks any form of imagination.
i find her intellectually dishonest,but she speaks to a legion of opinionated,misinformed and decisively ignorant sychophants(sp?).
she should be mocked rather than vindicated,but her fantastic ability to create controversy=equals ratings.
so as long as people will listen to her,to disagree or agree,she will always be given a platform to espouse her bigotry and hate.
just watching the video here,which i find gleefully apt in exposing her ignorance.she still wont admit to being wrong.
facts are subjective in coulter-world.
what a world class wanker.
till next time...peace.

Well.. if you consider Iraq has the "Coalition" and certain countries sent troops, some for administrative... Then technically the Canadian effort is similar.

Canada did play a minor role with troops there for legislative, media, and administrative duties.

Canada accepts an invitation in July 1954 to join the International Control Commission (ICC), a peacekeeping body designed to oversee the transition. CBC News covers the announcement made by Minister of External Affairs Lester Pearson, who cautions that the task will be difficult and complicated.


Of course this was well before 1959... While the country did not send combat troops, I'm also not sure how the Canadian volunteers were over there.

From the CBC radio
Broadcast Date: Feb. 20, 1966
Despite a law making it illegal, many individual Canadians choose to sign up with the U.S. armed forces to fight in Vietnam. While most go south of the border to sign up, one man has asked the Canadian government for permission to put together a 1200-man Canadian unit to train and fight with the Americans.


So yes, 30,000 Canadians did fight in Vietnam, but they were hawks that came down and enlisted in the US military. So, on the whole Coulter is wrong.
