So I guess only the IRA had their pasts forgiven…

It appears to me you are being intentionally obtuse and ignorant on this. They is only 24hrs in a day, and only so many workable hours, as a result you can’t have a ‘does all entity’. Nor in a democracy should you. Policing Canadians is a LE role. The CAF only comes into play in...

Big difference in Force Protection and AtCP Riot Control. Rioters/Protestors/Saboteurs whatever wouldn't appreciate the international requirements for security applications... Nice, but I'm sure the RCAF will find a way to parlay that into AC-130's ;)

There where a lot of old loads in the system for training -- I know the CA picked up a lot of old RCMP ammo as well as some Ski Team hand me downs that where badly stale @AmmoTech90 will probably know more. Most Deployments (at least Somalia, Cyprus, FYR and parts of Afghan) had some semblances...

Better kit ;) I was more Tongue in Cheek. But still relevant. As the flak vests issued for that were not designed for small arms fire and a .22LR pistol would easily penetrate them (and some air rifles fwiw).

Op Salon. The summer/fall of 1990. Mohawk reserve issues in Oka/Awkwesasne. Started as a dispute over a golf course, led to bridge closure and a SQ raid in which one officer was killed - and an armed stand off that required 5bde.

Less based on historical USN data, but even the ONT Nuke sites are way less problematic than the environmental damage from hydro, coal (or when you factor in the environmental damage to make them; wind and solar) But let’s not let facts get in the way of idiots yelling at clouds.

A perfect example of what that crowd can be right, yet wrong at the same time. Frankly their carbon footprint is more damaging than the SSN.

Sigh. One would think that it would be easy to say Passive Systems don’t emit, NEXT issue please.

Notice she has a nomex glove…

You live down here? ;)

He preferred everyone to be miserable but him. Troops dug in or in hooches, he’d been in a Range Hut with the heaters going. There where a bunch of his ‘vintage’ that had an actual desire to have their forces be combat ready, but didn’t put the cock to folks unnecessarily. I’m taking it...

Or is it? Perhaps their constituents moved on as well.

LEO role. These days there are a lot of good less lethal options that cannot be used OUTCAN, as they are prohibited by conventions to be used against any hostile force. Yes it’s sort of silly that you can’t use an LRAD or CN/CS/OC systems or even a Taser, but you can shoot them with...
