I would not be surprised by poor administration in reserve units during the time frame that your husband served. I was the CO of a reserve unit for a short period around that time. The reason there seems to be something odd about the story is that the process to release someone from the...

For clarification - was he in the Canadian military?

Seems to be a problem wherever it is really, really cold. https://arctic-russia.ru/en/article/arctic-fuel-depot-engineers-battling-the-cold/

Thank you for your volunteerism. My bias favouring the Sally Ann over the CRC goes back to serving in Germany during the Frigid Fracas (Cold War :cool:) and from speaking to some veterans of WW2. Generally their accounts were usually about the Salvation Army being more willing to get closer to...

The law, as I quoted it, seems clear. In addition to Members of Congress the following can "poke around". The only limitation for "employee of" is ". . . a facility described in subsection (a) . . ." is An imperfect search of that Consolidated Appropriations Act (and similar in subsequent...

The "law" that gives Members of Congress access for purposes of oversight as per the guidance on ICE's website (it predates the incident at the New Jersey detention facility). https://www.ice.gov/leadership/ocr/facility-visits However, I would dispute that the arrest of charges against...

It's a two for one story - could also be in the lawyers behaving badly thread. The cop's stepfather, a lawyer specializing in workers comp, was also arrested for assisting her.

This may be pedantic, but "AirLand Battle" was not a doctrine developed to emphasize rotary wing assets in either the offense or defense. It was about the collaboration of the Air Force (the "Air" part of the title) and the Army (the "Land" part). The term "Air-Land Battle" was first used in...

I had the same question. Is that image actually to be found on Truth Social (an oxymoron because he is neither truthful nor socially conscious) or is it a compilation? I think it might be. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hitler-quote-judges-trump/

At what level of hierarchy do you suggest that religious organizations (or individual religious leaders) refrain from involvement in politics? Is it only the white and red cassocked leaders of the Roman church or should it be an across the board abolition of any comment from a preacher? What...

Except there is no "US policy" as we used to envision it, only whatever is floating around in the big orange ball on the top of Trump's fat carcass being encouraged by the lickspittles in his entourage.

As it's the 25th anniversary of the Walkerton drinking water contamination crisis, discussion of human sewage (or cow shit run off in Walkerton's case) discharged into the water source is appropriate. It wasn't the shit in the community well that was the culprit (that should have been...

The "PANDA" battalions of 27 Canadian Infantry Brigade lasted little more than two years before the existing regular regiments, and those that rose from the Militia to be Regular (and the Guards), overtook the Special Force notion. The addition of families and camp followers didn't take even...

But such is the coalition that begat the Wildrose and spawned the UCP, the possibility exists the split could be PC-Wildrose(electoral reformers)-Wildrose(hard social conservatives). Personally, I think Smith sits amongst all flavours of Wildrose having, as is her wont, taken the opportunity to...

I think that you may have misunderstood "Willoughby's" participation in the story. My take is that he was only commenting on the suggested wealth transfer and in doing so coined the phrase "trillion dollar tsunami". It makes for a good quote and while his assessment of the phenomenon may be...

USAF, started while they were posted to Germany, husband waited until they repatted to report it. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/11/us-woman-bleach-husband-coffee edited to add If bleach was in the old man's coffee, did she have the OMO detergent box in the window?

Smith has already indicated that it is unlikely, even with the easier criteria proposed in the not yet passed amendment, for the question to be included in this fall's scheduled municipal election (Oct 20)...

There is a time limit on repeating the process. Five years from the last unsuccessful try. https://kings-printer.alberta.ca/1266.cfm?page=c13p2.cfm&leg_type=Acts&isbncln=9780779839179&display=html
