How is “surviving two assassination attempts” skill on his part? He is, objectively, a terrible President, doing incalculable damage to the US (let alone the western alliance). That you cannot see that through the tainted lens of your “fanboy life” is equally shocking. In no way do I...

A Visit Clearance Request is done through CDLS(W) and staffed through the Pentagon to get permission to gain access to a facility, site or location. That is the first step in the process of *official” visiting the US. It has nothing to do with the process of entering the US through a Port of...

So, no. A toddler holding nuclear codes requires careful handling. Trump does not have any particular skill himself (besides ruthless self interest. I will give him that).

I think this has been the true “51st state” thing, the whole time.

I have. In the Wardroom. I do not recommend it.

Never recover armoured vehicles under fire. During the Cold War, there was no expectation that your vehicle was getting recovered until after the immediate fight. This is a Peacekeeping/COIN scar…

My fear here is that a Separation Referendum is not being done in good faith. It is being done under outsider influence, to get enough of a result to give certain elements south of the border a reason to intervene. There is danger, here.

I can guess why a young crewmember might get that kind of a clearance, but it is only guess and even then, a bit of a stretch.

Thank the Gords that a CFAD is actually useful for something…

Yes, but KevinB’s question is a valid one. That is a pretty rarified security clearance for anyone, let alone a tank crew member.

This contract feels like this made up situation: Dateline Ottawa, August 1917- The Canadian Government has signed a contract with Sopwith Aviation Company to supply Sopwith Camel aircraft to our fighting forces in France as they battle the Hun. Deliveries will commence in 1920, with an expected...

Um, what?

Optimist.

That is just…wrong.

I am nearly certain that the “gobs of unused land” at Borden is neither gobs, nor unused.

Holy shit. That is a part of the NDA I never knew existed. I had no idea slush funds survived and are officially sanctioned to this day.
