The service man's wife pushed the Canadian woman to the ground and kicked her in the knee. No one was sure who the woman was until everyone was outside the bar. Then it became clear she was married to one of the service men. The man then started screaming at the Canadian visitors. Apparently, he criticized the Canadian military saying the soldiers wore "pink underwear" and also said they should get out of the U.S.'s war in places such as Kandahar.

There have been 97 Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan, as compared to 613 Americans. In proportion to country population (about 9x), Canadian losses have been much higher than American. as far as I've heard, Canucks have performed admirably in Khandahar and elsewhere.

This display of ignorance and anger is, hopefully, very isolated, but it is upsetting. Are US soldiers not informed as to Canada's contributions? And besides, Bellingham business would suffer greatly if Canadians stopped crossing the border.

And this, from Wikipedia:

The longest range recorded for a sniper kill currently stands at 2,430 meters (2,657 yd, or 1.51 miles), accomplished by Corporal Rob Furlong, a sniper from Newfoundland, Canada, in March 2002 during the war in Afghanistan. Corporal Rob Furlong made this record-breaking kill while he was participating in Operation Anaconda. He was serving with Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) at the time. To make the kill, he used a .50 caliber BMG (12.7 mm) McMillan TAC-50 bolt-action rifle.

I doubt that Furlong wore pink underwear.
