So Canadians learned more about violence from WW2 than Americans because they had relatives in London? Pearl Harbor and the horrific slog through the misery of the Pacific front just a sideshow in that instance, I presume?
I struggle to see the relevance.
Maybe I am wrong here, but he does not refer at the violence but what he is trying to say is that Canada, NZ, Australia and South Africa had more ties with UK than US, basically because they became independent later (Canada was only 50 years independent on WWI and they preserved more ties inside the Commonwealth while the US left after a n independence war AGAINST brits almost 200 years ago back then and had time to create their own identity
