„Au scuipat pe sacrificiul nostru”: Veteranii canadieni sunt revoltați după ce Trump și oficiali americani au ironizat armata

Canadian veterans who fought alongside U.S. troops in Afghanistan express anger over dismissive comments from Donald Trump and his administration regarding Canada's military contributions. They feel these remarks undermine their sacrifices and have shifted post-9/11 solidarity into disappointment. Canada lost 158 soldiers in the Middle East, and veterans recall their service with pride despite the recent criticisms. U.S. officials, including Vice President JD Vance, have made derogatory statements about Canada's military, which have been condemned by Canadian leaders. Some veterans, struggling with PTSD, reflect on their experiences and the changing perception of their service. Recent attempts by U.S. politicians to mend relations have been met with skepticism, as veterans question future cooperation with the U.S. if such disrespect continues.
