Argh!

About 3 years ago my unit was preparing for a "proffesional developement" trip to France, primarily most of the officers and SrNCOs, and we had some small briefings prior to leaving to educate the average guy on what they were going to see. (We were visiting Dieppe beaches, and primarily the Juno beach as well as some of the Inland areas where Cdn fighting occurred.) During one of the breifings, when the title page of the Powerpoint presentation showed the Red Ensign, a Lt asked: "Whose flag is that".
As if that wasn't bad enough, when I gave the Dieppe briefing, many in the room had never really heard of the battle, nor understood it's significance.

Too much US history in school, and not enough Cdn.

Probably just as well they showed the modern Cdn flag on the TV show, or some people would complain that the showed ignored the Cdns, and gave a double helping of the British contribution.
