🔴 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 **How the US has tried to annex Canada before – and why some Canadians wanted to become American **

Kristofer Allerfeldt

_“The 1812 invasion of Canada was a far more serious affair. Hoping to capture Canada in order to use it as a bargaining chip in their maritime disputes with Britain, US forces launched a three-pronged attack._

_It met with stiff resistance from the British and their Canadian and Native American allies. The invading US forces were comprehensively defeated.”_

Veterans are speaking out on the Trump administration’s plans to cut the VA’s budget

apnews.com/article/veterans-do

"Some historians trace the beginning of the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the Senate’s decision to reduce the soldiers’ pension. With less incentive to join the army, the Roman citizens turned to different careers. The Senate then filled the ranks of the army with Barbarians, diminishing the cohesion and discipline. These decisions are major contributing factors that lead to the fall of Rome. A cautionary tale to not mess with a veteran’s pension and post service benefits."
