Isn't it ironic? We were just talking about this yesterday in our lines. I mentioned that I noticed the irony of their (the civvie strikers) actions. Although they are exercising guaranteed rights and freedoms they have decided once again (as they always have) to picket the entrances to our...

RIP,  Bros!

I really like the last sentence of para 2. I'm not sure if I understand that they don't know how much we're getting because they don't have the formula to calculate it. I'd like to say that getting pay increases retroactively in lump sums is a good thing. However, historically (as quoted by...

Well I guess if she says no then it's no. Remember!!    happy wife.......happy life ;D ;D ;D

In my opinion older recruits entering the system is generally not a healthy thing. I spent half my time in at one end or the other of the fighting machine. This was not an issue at the pointy end but seems to be a bit more prevalent in the not so pointy end. In peace time the rigours of hard...

That's right guys, it was a 2nd Lt Hiro Onoda. He returned to Japan in March 1974 after hiding out in the islands of the Philipines.  He was specially trained in commando tactics and left for the islands in '44. His AOR was the island of Lubang. His CO told him that he was not to die by his own...

Al-Sadr will not have to do anything he doesn't feel suits him or his goal. In the past he has asserted that he would comply with cease fires agreements only to launch some other insurrection in another place. Afterall, he has nothing but time on his hands, something the Americans don't. The...

The second one that goes off, the one near the right edge of the road looks like a white cylinder. Not like a grenade bouncing along the road. Perhaps an IED? It sure had the hollow crump of a grenade. I could not see the first one that went off near the median. I wonder why the civvies were...

The opinion by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) declaring Israel's security barrier illegal is questionable on at least two counts. One is the issue of whether the ICJ has legitimate jurisdiction in the case. A significant minority of United Nations members take the view that it does...

Maybe they (UN, EU and ICJ) could get the Israelis to give the coordinates to the IDF military installations to their enemies. (remember that's Israeli DEFENCE Force) Oh, and they could also post the timings when it would be best to attack them. While they're at it they could gather in large...

Perhaps that by paying whatever amount is required would be the same as an admission to guilt and culpability. If they were to admit to guilt this would never end. Things like honour, ethics, dignity are so much to us but to these bureaucrats (civvies in uniforms) they are just words to throw...

Like someone else said, a survey by teenagers is a survey by teenagers. Probably the same teenagers who could not name four things Canadian without repeating the word Gretsky twice. They devoure american media, their idols are american, their music is american, their style of dress is american...

I would like to say sorry to all Canadians for the absolutely foolish thing that my fellow Ontarions did last night.

I read this in the Toronto Sun columnist section by Mr Peter Worthington. It is another perspective valid of your time to read. this is the link to it, http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/Columnists/Toronto/Peter_Worthington/2004/06/26/514680.html Increasingly, many Americans (and others) are...

When was the last WW2 soldier (enemy) captured? In other words, how long did he last before either being captured or surrendering to Allied forces? Slainte

Good post. I  hope some people here read it closely. Fortunately there is a good sprinkling of common sense among all the chaff of leftist pinkoes that are good at screaming and ranting but little good at actions that can change the situation. Slainte,

I suppose violence never solved anything. No, violence didn't solve  problems like Nazism, Fascism. It never solved the slavery in southern US or cessesion. It never solved the death camps. It never solved Japanese imperalism. As for calling me a racist...buddy until you actually meet me face to...

The last week has been a single repeating cycle of work, getting kids fed, washed and off to bed and then watching the History Channel for my D-Day fix. One thing that has struck me very keenly was the quality of civilian leadership in charge of USA, Britain. Not only were people like Churchill...

Wes, Keep talking like that and maybe eventually you'll convince these monkeys that this is not an easy task that we have facing us. There have been some good points brought up by both sides of this. To the three stooges, Do you think the filthy little terrorists are having debates right now...

My thoughts exactly. Aren‘t they both from Maine or Mass.? I wonder what his troops think of their Pl Comd going on like this?
