Certainly TV!  I never said that there wasn't a "convergence of goals" between the two.  ;D But, submission by attrition hasn't had a good track record of winning "hearts and minds" historically.  I'm not sure what my point is - I'm not trying to argue - just thinking out loud.  I'm just...

Technically though, Russia wasn't beaten by the Germans, but by the Bolsheviks...  They only left WW1 when they had a revolution.  It hadn't been going well for them, for sure, but it was the Revolution that ceased their involvement, rather than a true defeat.  Sorry, I know I'm splitting...

Absolutely!  It seems the CBC'ers doth protest a bit too much (IMHO).  Makes me curious about what they're so worried about. Are they really that worried that the average Canadian can't think for themselves and have to be spoon fed their opinions by (their and only their!) talking head in a box...

Okay, I missed a word.  Beretta Px4 COMPACT.  As opposed to the...  not-so-compact...  version. But, my reference still had it, even if I mis-named it.  :) Not bad for a retired Admin Clk, who usually doesn't know much more about firearms than which end the bullets come out of, if I say so...

Well, according to some other firearms/movie geeks: http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/A-Team%2C_The_%282010%29#Beretta_Px4_Storm_Compact the Beretta Px4 seems to be it.

Like all good Highlanders...

Didn't Chesty Puller do the same thing to himself once?  (Now THERE's a phrase that can be taken out of context...) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesty_Puller#Chesty_Puller_in_Marine_Corps_culture

Odd.  It's getting kinda dusty in here... :salute: :salute: :salute:

Ah, yes, the soap-dodgers attempt to fool the rest of the world.  :o :-X

Sorry if this has been done before, but I only found this myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr4QBZfjtqs&feature=player_embedded Cat Sh*t One Oy!

It made me larf...

Shouldn't this be getting mentioned in the "Stupidest Thing Heard Said Today" thread? Newsflash:  immersing things in water can make them wet!

Not to mention that many (if not most) Commissionaires are ex-military anyway...

WRT transferring funds from DND to CCG for SAR (which I don't believe for a minute that it'd be a good idea), I doubt that will have much impact on the average voting Canadian.  Most people seem to assume that all the SAR aircraft are CCG regardless of whether the paint job is white and red or...

I wondered why the guys in my section did that to me too.  Of course, it really made me curious since I was only a Corporal...

Yeah, I wondered about the sniping bit too (cuz I was a clerk - what the heck do I know about EOD stuff?), and asked about it on a different forum, and the answer I got was that EOD types get trained to use the Barret to distance detonate munitions when it was too dangerous to approach.  I guess...

Wibble!

Whatever you do... DO NOT show up wearing chest webbing... Clicky here for the reason why...

I think the idea is to not buy stuff until at least six months after you've finished your initial training.  That'd be about six months after you arrive at your first posting.  Depending on your trade, that could be about six months, to a year, after you start. There are multiple reasons for...

A lot of this seems to boil down to misunderstanding what morality is.  Is morality relative?  Some think so - I don't.  However, does that mean I try to force my morality on others?  Not a chance! Certain things, like the behaviour of previously mentioned Charles Manson, for example, are...
