Let's look at population size and military size of both countries.
With Reg and Res force, Canada has roughly 80,000 troops.
The same with the USA, 2,500,000 troops. (just a rough figure)
Now, Canada has about 32 Million people, the USA has about 310 million.
The percentage of the population in the forces for Canada is 0.0025%
The percentage of the Population for the forces in USA is 0.0081%
With those #'s, that is about 3 times the amount per capita. If we had the same amount per capita in the forces here in Canada, we would have 250,000 + - troops serving. I doubt our country would ever get to that; if we had another 30,000 troops, that would be great. I'm just hoping Martin will do a few things for the forces, but it's unlikely he will do much.
