Spare the sophistry. Previous actions do not excuse possible crimes. The question is did he order the throttling of Starshield unilaterally, a DoD funded and managed service being provided to an ally fighting the Russkis. If he did, he acted in a manner that looks a helluva lot like treason...

I think its entirely fair to personally punish the private citizen who personally ordered events that led to the deaths of dozens of Ukrainians and contravened the foreign policy of the USA. If William Boeing pulled the same shit in WW2 there would be treason charges by now.

Why do I have a sinking feeling the FGH and 26 Fd will pay for that lol?

Nice to see the Senator for Cancun is clear eyed on this.

The minimum buy in my opinion is 180. 4 x 20 tanks for squadrons (80 per regiment x 2 regiments). Plus 10 per regiment as RHQ tanks and spares. Dont really need school MBTs anymore since tank training has been devolved entirely to the LdSH(RC). 250 would allow us to have everything above plus...

Meh. We arent making three square brigades. We're looking at roughly two infantry brigades and an armoured brigade. 250 tanks is definitely enough for two regiments in one brigade. Id like to see the PPCLI and 1 CER switch out their LAVs for the similarly tasked tracked vehicles being talked...

Fun fact - the last Democratic senator from Kansas was born in 1870 and held the office in the 1930s...I think this was a bigger swing than some here are alluding.

We are actively working out exactly this though - allegedly around 250 new tanks, plus ARVs, AEVs and ABLVs.

I had a mostly full one in Latvia as Adm Sgt. It was really cool. The amount of tactical logistics responsibility armoured NCOs are entrusted with is really special.

An oldie but a goodie. The structure of an armoured regiment is basically the same now. Cool to see old tracked logistic trucks and Lynxes. As an aside - I think there are two CDS you can spot in this video.

Obviously every Muslim is responsible for 9/11. Particularly this guy who was 10 at the time.

Huh weird. Its just a standard International tandem truck.

Might be a local thing for you guys then because LUVWs are done by our own local second line here. Why is that? Shouldnt they be pretty easy to work on as a civvie conversion?

Some cool concepts for Army robo-squadrons floating around. Be interesting to see what comes of it in a next year or two.

It was a few years ago. But Minto is basically out of commission for the next 6-8 months. Parade square repairs contaminated the building with crazy amounts of dust. Everyone is parading out of 17 Wing or Harcus Strachan Armoury now.
