I see your point. Let's suppose we were able to intervene and prevent it from happening. I believe that as a parent I would want to give the child the best shot possible. I can't imagine the complications and emotional distress (socially accepted or not) presents to a person going through such...

Thank you for your post. You certainly know your stuff! I have to admit I am going to have to think through the idea some more. The biological theory for the biochemical reaction at the 8 week mark is certainly interesting. If true, there may be a possible intervention during the 8 week mark...

I'm more thinking that our group would go there with permission to 'assist' the Filipino gov in tracking down this group. I don't think that is unheard of...unfortunately I also realize it's not likely to happen.

I hope they send in a certain group of ours to hunt these people down. Canadians should be the ones pulling the trigger on these men as an answer to their actions.

It has been shown that homosexuality in a certain species of monkeys acts as a social way to de-stress their tribe and create bonds. Basically a way to keep them from turning on each other in hard times. That would account for homosexuality being a evolutionary advantage in certain situations...

...Kinda, yes ;) I don't mean this question as anything disrespectful, I'm just curious. I'm wondering how one can identify themselves as a women, being physically a man, is still attracted to a woman? It seems to defeat the purpose Do you think the hormonal treatments would effect your...

Money talks. Decent yearly bonus pay for people maintaining consistent strong physical performance.

I can see why they changed it, but still seems like it would be a kick to the gonads. How much drop in yearly pay between the two? I recall my Sapper level pay was quite a lot less than my Cpl pay in the end.  If one is injured I don't think the Earnings Loss Benefit would be of much help...

Do your parents have any concept in what you are actually doing? It's not the boy scouts you are in, and if it's responsibility and dicipline they are trying to teach you, your obligations to the CF are right up there with that concept. Perhaps getting them a tour of where you work will help...

Since Facebook is an American company they are going to apply American free speech laws to their policies. I believe they do have hate crime laws but it's no where near Canadian standards from what I understand. In other words, I don't think they will respond unless the group posts pornographic...

Wow! Lots of good changes on the horizon. I hope they follow through. I don't quite understand where this statement is coming from. What kind of difference in standards are seen solider to soldier?

The "Googler" is definitely a type that drives me batty. Ask a question, they will spend the time to google it and come back as if they already knew the answer. Like, how couldn't you know that already?? There are plenty on every forum. However, they can be useful if you don't feel like doing...

Sadly it's probably true.

Ha! That statement can be used in so many different contexts, I'm totally stealing it. Many of the inefficiencies mentioned in this article I have experienced first hand. Although one cannot put a price tag on it, perhaps there could be a 'man hour' budget imposed on the leadership. The...

Very much so. I wonder what they would have needed to get a better foot hold up against such a drastic difference between resources and technology. Hit and run is basically all they were doing...mind you in '09 they were saving up their resources for the election and disruption of the voting...

Almost missed your link. Excellent info there! Thank you.

First, I asked myself what would be different if we went into Afghanistan where the population was somewhat educated, and had access to similar resources as I did here in Canada. We were up against people using asymmetrical warfare tactics using dominantly the most primitive forms of weapons...

Yes, I recall this as I worked with Lt. Col Sajjan overseas and he was talking a lot about that. I'm more looking at developing a manual for the people on the insurgent side in US/Canada.  Operating like a mafia is the norm over there, which was around long before the invasion. I'm not sure if...

Thanks, I will have a look at this. Written in 1943 though. I really think the types of weapons that a modern, educated insurgent can put together will change things a lot. Not to say that the tactics here are not relevant. Will look into that as well. Again, I think the capabilities of an...

Kinda of what I'm thinking, but a handbook for the real thing. Kind of along the same lines but with defense against occupational force as the focus. Have you ever read that though? I did about ten or more years ago...has it been updated? What I saw was junk and looks like it was written by a...
