总是说自己是唯一2个烧过白宫的国家之一，其实呢？
Washington was burned in August of 1814 by thoroughly British infantry fresh
from the Peninsular War in Spain. They sailed across the Atlantic, arrived
via Bermuda, and landed in Maryland. They were under the command of Major
General Robert Ross, who seems not have set foot on North American soil in
his life prior to the assault, and who would die in action before ever
reaching Canada itself.
They broke the American defenses in Maryland at the Battle of Bladensburg,
marched inland, occupied Washington, put it to the torch, and then lit out
again. "Canadians" had nothing whatever to do with it except in the most
dubious abstract sense -- that is, of the thing having been accomplished by
soldiers fighting on the same side as the Canadian colonists. In much the
same way, it was the Soviets who landed in Normandy in 1944, and the Germans
who bombed Pearl Harbor.

最后一个类比不好 苏联和英美是盟国 尔加拿大当时是大不列颠不可分割的一部分
更贴切地说 应该是台湾 朝鲜 琉球 偷袭了珍珠港
本来想说过东北华北和中华民国在南京也参与了 后来一想这些也只是日本的盟国和占
领区 相当于印度
