Given the crew requirement for CSC, JSS and AOPs, I tend to think that the RCN is better suited into uncrewed subsurface systems, as well as uncrewed surface systems.

Sort of. Years ago I knew a M/Cpl who got charged for something rather chickenshit. He ended up getting a $200 fine, but had come in 7 days to meet with his assisting officer and had the charge parade on a non parade admin night - so he made more than double the fine.

I tend to believe the only reason the ARNG functions to the degree it does, is that GWOT provided a great deal of active duty time for the bulk of the guard. Additionally the up or out policy in Officer promotions combined with the limited number of Regular Army commissioned officers leads to...

While not @FJAG I don’t think one needs ‘super armories’ mainly as it somewhat defeats the purpose of having units close to people. You will end up with the those bases on the edge of large cities and being an hour or so commute for many. Again not @FJAG but to me the more senior roles tend to...

When you only have a pittance of ships, you can’t afford pleasure craft.

If you need to explain a joke, it probably wasn’t funny…

No, but DoD as the ‘manager’ can move and reassign units. So the personnel would either need to change units, and potentially need to change their MOS, or accept the element transfer to Space Force with their unit. The National Guard takes a huge amount of Federal money as a whole, as few...

North America also had land to keep the troops far away from the people…

You and I have very different take aways. What I’ve seen is that Trump paid to have embarrassing fiction printed against his opponents, while also paying off an adult film actress who he had an affair with to try to keep his image from being tarnished while having others being tarnished...

It’s a lot more complicated than a class B or C discussion. It’s more like telling a Class B Calgary Highlander that they are now both in the RCN and Regular Force at the same time. The easy button is to make a Space Force Guard - but that’s been stalled for a while. I don’t understand...

Clearly the better effort would have been exposing the truth about the Hush Money payoff to Stormy Daniels…

At the end of the day the Militaries of democratic countries are subservient to the elected officials. However it behooves the government to listen to their military SME’s as to how best accomplish the tasks they are given to force construct etc. I tend to like the unfunded priorities lost...

Or all of the above.

Enjoy your tax burden, and no guns ;). But admittedly Canada isn’t a terrible place, it’s beautiful, unfortunately it’s just all those Canadians in it that ruins it :ROFLMAO: On a serious note, I think Canada is a wonderful country, I rate it #2 to America, but I have certain requirements...

While I disagree with the author significantly on a lot of issues, I don’t see a lot wrong in his opinion here. https://open.substack.com/pub/luciantruscott/p/judge-im-stalling-as-slow-as-i-can?r=1ssj4i&utm_medium=ios

I’d rather have 1000 $3k drones that give me most of what I want ;) We can spam $100 drones at assholes all day long with a small something that goes boom. The key is understanding that there needs to be ‘grades’ of UAS. Attack systems that are relatively cheap and plentiful that give...

Less is more sometimes. I don’t want the enemy reading my mail, and the COTS systems won’t have secure feeds. Which can lead to other issues. I want availability, but secure and somewhat hardened. It shouldn’t be that hard.
