==IRL== [[File:Vandoos2 Canucks.jpg|300px|right|thumb|The drill sergeant has already scared the <s>fear</s> maple syrup out of the man, it seems. FUN FACT; the man on the left in this picture went on to star in a pornographic film - FUKKIN GOOGLE IT]] From the Boer Wars to Korea, through both the World Wars, the Canadians built up a strong and storied wartime history. Boasting having never lost a war, it's not hard to see why. Known for being relentless attackers, the Canucks would never allow their enemies to rest under a constant barrage of precise shelling, sniper fire and nighttime raids. According to the official Canadian military history, the Germans loathed fighting them so much that they named the Canadians as the "''White Gurkhas''" as early as 1916. It is worth noting that there exists a debate as to whether or not this was all more reputation than reality, but the Canadian Forces definitely became known as some of the finest, most accurate shock troops the world had ever seen. The ''Vandoos'' and the PPCLI are both Regiments with a storied history of their own, with the latter being formed for the First World War and the former being associated with the founding of Canada itself. Becoming mechanized towards the tail end of WW2 thanks to the local proliferation of "Kanagroo" type APC vehicles, they both had been adjusted in size to contain several Battalions instead of being Battalion-sized themselves. Ever since then, the Canadian forces in general had adopted and stuck to local variants of the M113 and FAL as soon as either were available, though plans to modernize and replace this equipment had been in place by 1985. As the case is here, Canadian equipment tended to lag behind the rest of NATO in terms of the technological cutting edge. Units often found themselves acquiring equivalent weapons and gear a fair while after their allies. This was said to be offset by the quality of the men who carried them, though again, there continues to be a debate as to the reality of such statements. Regardless, the stats presented for Team Yankee certainly reflect that emphasis on skill at arms. {{Canadian Forces in Team Yankee}} [[Category:Team Yankee]]
