Okay, now I DO feel mentally deficient. I didn't know Canada had any sort of military other than the Mounties. I guess they just stay out of the headlines, unlike ours... :/

Something that sucks about American public schools - they encourage a certain self-centered way of thinking by teaching little about foreign history or customs. What little I learned in school about the world outside our borders came from optional language classes. Luckily, I did a lot of reading on my own.
