    Ubi soft is canadian. Their based in montreal. Which means their french sort of. Unlike the continental french, the Quebec french were a fearful force in World War One to the Germans. The candians in general where known to be couragous, taking on and completing objective no-one else could.... We have since become hippies. but hey when you have the best pot in the world it's hard not to.

    You can't forget Propaganda. If the image of the US army is the image that the game portrays it would minimize such embarrassments as the SAS refusing to work with any member of the US army. Or not having the US army have some credibility when they claim bombing their allies was an accident and nto the result of gung ho pilots with a rambo complex.

    The world wide image of the US army and even your allies and soldiers in allied armies is that the US army is a well equip troop of red neck idiots. We liek your gear, yoru friendly and all, but when the fighting breaks out you get the fuck away from us please.
