Brickbat: Close Enough for Government Work

Canadian Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay has apologized after Veterans Affairs Canada posted a video online celebrating the 74th anniversary of V-E Day that showed German troops instead of Canadian soldiers. In the video, MacAulay describes Canada's contribution to the war effort over video showing images of Wehrmacht soldiers.

You know who else made a huge, WWII-related mistake?

[Rat on a train]

The Germans, when they bombed Pearl Harbor?

[Still Curmudgeoned (Nunya)]

That was Switzerland!

[Conchfritters]

I disagree - I actually liked 1941.

[Rat on a train]

I think the really big year is going to be 1942.

Monty in a Bridge to Far ?

This is what happens when you have White on White violence. It's easier to keep track when each side picks a color.

[SQRLSY One]

Or at least shirts and skins!!!

[Brandybuck]

Brown shirts and skins. FIFY.

[What's that smell?]

Serious question; Who does someone make a mistake like this? The VERTERAN"S AFFAIRS Minister who narrates the video doesn't look at the footage. Or didn't he know the uniforms of Nazis or HIS OWN soldiers???????????

[Radioactive]

in his defense he is Canadian, or at least he identifies as Canadian...

[Ride 'Em]

It sounds like something that would happen on The TV show Hogan’s Heroes.

[Quo Usque Tandem]

Just another good reminder that these are the people who run things around here.

All the more reason to put them all on a fucking short leash.

[Á àß äẞç ãþÇđ âÞ¢Đæ ǎB€Ðëf ảhf]

A choker leash.

[Rich]

Achtung!

[crufus]

It is probably a lot easier to find footage of German soldiers than Canadian soldiers.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Well, I admit to finding some satisfaction that our Canadian neighbors, or at least their government, are fully capable as ours in making themselves look like clueless, inattentive dolts.
