Are you talking about after he worked for Goldman Sachs?

You have still only addressed your perspective of the problem. For the one talking about "digging" into the data, here is some context:

Just a reminder that for every galactically stupid mistake, thousands more respectfully turned-out for Remembrance Day ceremonies. It is important to keep broader context that the general public overall is supportive and appreciative.

I just want to make sure we're clear, here. The solution is for more moderator interjection against the Democratic candidate, not to provide fewer egregious lies? Got it.

I would suggest that this conversation needn't even have necessitated a Google search. Mr. Hunka was known to have fought the Soviets during the Second World War. Without receiving any further information, the conversation should have ended in that moment.

As a note to anyone referencing the photograph in the first post, it is not taken in Latvia. It depicts a soldier from the UK Training Element during the CDS' visit in the fall of 2022. Not only is the geography incorrect, it makes assumptions about the individual's purchase. Yes, they are 3 PPCLI.

I assume that the generation to whom the author disparagingly refers, is that same one that has served this nation across the globe in multiple active theatres over the past two decades, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Mali, Ukraine and Latvia.

And conversely to prove, yet again, that every generation of soldiers endures being seen as 'softer' than the last: How muscle cars, sideburns and John Travolta helped save the military after Vietnam

The Department issued a clarification after the Minister spoke. It is not new money, and is in fact part of the previously-announced increase to the defence budget. EDIT. The Minister's Office sent the correction, not DND.

Submitted application in October 2019. Received in complete in April 2020, went to Stage 3. Suspended in February 2021, for more information. Sent the requested, completed package in April 2021. Indicated that it was back to decision-making, Stage 3, at end of May 2021. So, for the more...

I was deployed to this particular AO for approximately ten months, back in 2016-2017. The threat profile changed dramatically during that time period; in June 2016, ISIL was less than 50km from Baghdad, Fallujah was still raging, protests threatened to topple the government and repeated SVBIEDs...

Interesting article covering the attempted coup, from War on the Rocks. http://warontherocks.com/2016/07/the-coup-operation-and-turkeys-fractured-military/ BLUF. From the article, the indication is that a hasty enacting of the plot, brought on by detection by Turkish intelligence, coupled...

Considering that Nice, Istanbul, Orlando, Paris, Brussels, San Bernadino, Ottawa, Boston, et al., involved Western citizens that were killed in the course of their attacks by law enforcement, or that targeted strikes of insurgent leadership or membership has been going on for almost a decade, I...

What is the job, exactly? Seems like it is mass deportations, imprisonment or torture of North American citizens without justification. I think we can pass on that job.

Many of my colleagues support measures such as this one; I disagree. Not that anyone is asking, but to me it simply appears to be political tripe. There is already specific legislation that makes it an offence to assault, attack or otherwise harm law enforcement officers. I'd imagine (EDIT...
