    Warrant Officers in the US and Canadian Armies - confusion re: status?

    IB A MCpl is not equal to a LCpl. He is equal to a Cpl/Sgt, this depends on his quals. On one tour we MCpls stayed in the Sgts quarters some of our Sgts/WOs didn't like it, but the RSM said too bad. This is a point in reverse. As for my post over on the other one, it is the Base Commanders...

    The Decline and Fall of the American Empire?

    48th You said it, if it doesn't hurt us, just turn our backs. What interest did we have with Iraq? We have our own oil, we don't need any sand, we have Suffield, Camels are a lil poor at pulling a sled. And don't give me the WMD crap. The US gave it to them, for the war against Iran. I think...

    The Decline and Fall of the American Empire?

    It was illegal. It was ratified by the UN. So where is the US, in Africa? How most people see it is Iraq has oil, Africa has well? Yes oil has been found in Africa, but to get it would cost more. If a soldier life is no cost, what is?
