AN AMERICAN SERVICEMAN on Canadian soldiers:

My experience with Princess Pat’s Rifles showed them to be intelligent thoughtful sorts and at the time we were all quite impressed by their being paid significantly more than we were.

Anyone interested in the idea of an American Foreign Legion? Get paid squat, get sent to really bizarre places to perform objectionable acts, be subject to really draconian discipline and when all is said and done we’ll let you and your family become citizens.

jsa – who still thinks Heinlein had the right idea, even if the movie basically ignored the whole central theme of the work in favor of the special effects which didn’t meet up to the book either… (StarshipTrooper)
