Recce guy, thanks for providing some covering fire against Release Section. Sounds like his U.S. hatred got the better of him based on my book synopsis alone. Obviously he hasn't read my FICTION novel.
First of all Release Section I was authorized by the owner of this web site to advertise my product, you don't have a say in who advertises or not. It's not your call. Secondly, my advertisement's cost me money out of my pocket. That money goes to the functioning of this site so you may have the freedom to spew your opinions. So thank me instead of criticizing me personally. Thirdly, I chose this site because the target audience I am trying to reach is precisely infantry soldiers in both the U.S. and Canada. This isn't a freakin romance novel. My book advertisement has sold copies and has gotten good feedback from members of this site and has generated good discussion. This site is not just for Canadians. It's open to the entire world for anyone to post in or advertise on if the owner so allows it.
Now, to suggest that Canada would voluntarily allow the U.S. to intercede into a domestic Canadian dispute is not the scenario I put forth. Canada calls on NATO membership and the U.S. provides military support to enhance the Canadian military objectives of suppressing an attack against its union by an illegal rebel force. It is a joint NATO operation hence the subtitle Operation Joint Suppression. So don't get your camouflaged panties all in a ruffle, the big bad U.S. doesn't come marching in on their own accord. In fact, you might blame the liberal democratic President in the book for using U.S. military assets in the wrong way. But guess you'll have to plop down some money, read the book and find out. Ooh, wouldn't that just get your goat.
To say that a Canadian civil war is modern Canada is ridiculous is like saying that Tom Clancy's scenario of having commercial airplanes plowing into government institutions just won't fly. If civil war in Canada is so ridiculous then why did the Canadian government impose the War Measures Act during the October Crisis in 1970? Certainly, you would consider thirty years ago "modern" Canada. Some of those same players, the FLQ terrorist group, who caused the problems back then still exist today. And just back in the stone age of 1995 a vote of secession was missed by 1%. The scenario I put forth is that an ultranationalistic Quebec leader emerges that galvanizes his province into changing their views on secession and in fact the province votes that way. History backs me on the power of nationalism.
My research revealed that military intervention was a very likely scenario in the face of a break up of the Canadian Union. Some of the rhetoric I use in my book is based on rhetoric from your own Parliament members in the land of reality.
Lastly, the book is about fighting men on both sides of the battle and my umost appreciation for the heck that soldiers go through to complete a mission. This is essentially a fighting man's urban combat scenario. It is a study in lessons learned. It is a HYPOTHETICAL fiction novel for your entertainment and escapism. Enjoy, and relax, chill out and calm down friend.
