Dallaire is a member and I just heard him say on the CBC he has always been a Liberal.  How can be in the Military and see what the Liberal Party has done to the CF and still support the Liberals.  Hearing that come out of his mouth has lessen my respect for him.  He'll just be a tool of teh...

"Paul Martin wants to be a statesman." Yeah a liberal statesman....  the CF is going to a small part in any goal Paul might have.  To me the Amry and the Liberal party just don't mix.

" This is not accurate: many (most?) coountries (including the one we live in) do NOT recognize Taiwan as a sovereign country ... Taiwan was only admitted to the WTO in 2002 and STILL has not been admitted to the UN!" That's true but from my understanding, things ahve changed alot in the last...

"Sure, they would deploy a fleet, but the American public and government is NOT going to risk an all out nuclear exchange over the Republic of China" Taiwan is and has been since 1949 an independent nation, only China doesn't see that way.  With its new found strenghths it realized it can get...

Hopefully you won't lock this down too quickly.  I've found the mods on this are too quick to clsoe something down, it really don't matter if something has been asked before, if the demand is there people we answer it. Doing from that question there is really only one military that fits that...

"Of course, it raises the whole chicking and the egg question - which comes first, a political commitment to combat capability, or a financial one?" Their part of the same question really, because you won't ant real finanical support until you get the political commitment.. and you won't get...

compulsory service would be a good idea, but I don't think the Liberals would go for it.  They have been tring for at least 30 years to degrade the CF, so I don't see them adding anything that would put a stop to their plan.  Non-military service might work.  It would be a good way to reduce the...

it really depends on when the money gets to the CF.  Most of money is coming in the last part of 5 years plan, and could easily be cancelled by a future gov't.  IF the Liberals were to be re-elected again and this time get a majority, who really know if they go keep promises.  Being elected...

If the CF, God forbid, fills 67 bodybags next week and half have women in them, we could have a new operational employment policy long before we see any of the ORBATS being bandied about here. Really why would that change anything.  Society has changed a lot on the last 30 years and I don't...

the Bush jacket was used between 45-the early 60's.  Its like the the combat shirt but made of heavier cotton and is in a different design.  I would add a pic but can't seem to figure out how that works.

I'm looking for a Canadian Army Bush Jacket size 44 and maybe the pants as well in size 34. Thanks

"And if the hippies have been voting for the liberals...whos been giving votes to the NDP??" At least the NPD would be more honest and up front about where they would take the CF.  The Liberals have a long very long history of being dishonest when it comes to defence.  Seeing the budget will be...

"But its not like were not needed in A Stan" Truly true, I think the CF will do a better job and will be more important in Afghanistan that in Iraq.  But that's not why the Liberals are doing it.. which is my point.  They just want a reason to have their No look okay.  This might work with...

Maybe its just me, but is this another way for the Liberals to keep the CF out of Iraq.  By comminting more troops to Afghanistan, it leaves martin with an easy way to say no without saying NO to Bush.

"This was all brought up during the last federal election campaign but Canadians still voted to waste taxpayer's money." I'd agrue that Canadians did vote for change only our system still let the Liberals back in.  As first past post, is a out dated system and needs to be replaced with...

" It really scares me on how some people on this forum, who are current members of our forces, are bashing our current system, the constitutional monarchy. It also is disturbing that these members think the current system is  not Canadian. I suggest you pack your bags and move down south. Im...

"Yes we should remain a Monarchy. Not only because it is traditional, and thus keeps us in touch with our roots. But also because the idea of becoming a republic is just to darn scary (Not to mention the costs of transitioning over to such). As the Americans have proved, a republic is no better...

"Like our "Democracy" there are no warranties or garrantees.  No exchange policy. It took years for the nations after WW II to create Democracies that worked.  There was no magic wand waved and presto Japan, Germany, Italy and a few other nations like Taiwan, became Democracies.  It took...

"What was done to the Japanese cannot be 'justified'.  I'ld have to disagree, the 2 atom bombs ended the war quickly and they were far fewer Japanese citizenx killed in those tow bombing raid that in the fire bomb raids the US was doing before that.  If anything was un-justied it was the...

"True,but that would be a "racial" issue SSM is not." being prejudice, is still being prejudice doesn't want the issue is. Being Racist or homohoplic its still based on the same intolerances; its just easier to being intolerant to gays but there is no difference to me.  And remember these...
