I'm not sure how you can pin this on conservative Americans (war mongering or not). I'm a moderate conservative (libertarian) and I'm not bothered one bit by Canadian Patriotism. But then, I know more Canadians and Commonwealth types than most Americans and I see the value of the Commonwealth to the United States. Further, Canuks and Commonwealth troops are more likely to stand their ground [in my opinion] on a peace keeping mission than I'd expect Frog troopies to. I'm sure some of my ative and ex- Mil friends would comment on this.
Frankly, I'd be more inclined to blame it on daft americans that need PC (personal computer) technical terms PC-ified [Politically Correct) for them, or else they might take offense.
