Nothing personal, y'unnerstand - we just aren't and don't want to be Americans.
That's why we listen closely to an accent before hazarding a guess about where someone is from. When in doubt it's always safer to say: 'You're from Canada aren't you?'

then as now the adoption of an 'American' insignia was a defensive measure against 'friendly fire' incidents involving US aircraft.

It would be funny if it wasn't usually tragic: the INFALLIBLE way to get the lads to speed up digging any defensive position is to say "Oh and by the way, we have American air support!"

They start digging like bloody badgers!
