LOL.......I think you are all somewhat confused. I wasn't suggesting we use "LIVE" targets for training. Allthough I see were you might have got that impression from my statement above. What I'm trying to get across is Canadian soldiers don't have the apparent instinct to kill. I'm not a...

You know what I don't understand......why whenever PTSD is mentioned everyone automaticaly takes the defensive. Or they are told not to touch on the subject etc. What the fuck are you all scared of ? As far as my previous posts above. My service is not in question here ! I'm proud of my country...

WOW..........how many people have you killed 2 Cdo ? I remember "Battle School". However, I don't recall ever being taught how to kill someone. I remember shooting at targets and pretending they were fantasia fucking forces.........but no I don't recall having someone teach me how to kill...

Why is my two cents worthless..........buds ! My opinion is from my own personal experience....Roto 2 Kabul. I don't know what fantasy world you are living in....Or what you have been told, lead to believe ! Please, explain training for combat........I would like to hear what you know on the...

Right......now tell me the last time you trained for war........ Unfortunately, the Canadian soldier's that we are sending over to this country are neither ready or prepared for the shit that is being thrown at them. Lets be honest, we are not training our soldiers for war......... I have done...

I've taken a real good look at Afghanistan....frankly, there's not much there that I truly believe needs/wants to be saved. By us or any other nation for that matter. Our western world for some odd reason, thinks that we have all the answers. Answers, that generations upon generations before...

Right, good point.......something we should all think about the next time another Canadian soldier is killed, and another, and another..... What message do you think they are sending us ?  ::)

BANG ON !!!

It's fancinating how people can twist a simple concept.  ::) Did I say......I was choosing to treat anyone with contempt? I mearly said that "Familiarity breeds contempt". In my observation 20 years in the CF I can honestly say that....yes it happens. It  has improved a lot over the past few...

Its the old saying....and it goes: "Familiarity breeds contempt"...This means that the more you know something or someone, the more you start to find faults and dislike things about it or them. Lee

Sir, Welcome to Calgary ! :salute: I would like to take this opportuntiy to  invite you to our Military Museum. If you have not allready dropped by.... The Museum of the Regiment's is located just off of Crowchild Tr. SW. There are 4 different Regiment's represented at the museum. Two regular...

Not saying that at all........ What I was implying was that the person who originally started this thread hasn't been heard from since. That leaves me wondering what he/she was really after in the first place. Perhaps to get a rise out of everyone here, and he/she definately did just that ! My...

For someone who claims to have such an interest in PTSD..... One wonders why you haven't participated in any of these discussions since you started this thread back in early Nov. ? I'm actually surprised at how many people fell for this ! C'mon folks didn't we learn anything over those years in...

Yukon Don ! True Story... During the mid eighties Don was Helevac from Wainwright because they thought he was having a heart attack... It turned out he just had a stomach full of gas after he ate a whole jumbo size can of beans...... ;D

SLIDER....I saw him the other day. He's still the same ol' SLIDER ! Yeah, it's Keith !
