Why not? What harm could there be? Don't tell me you joined the army and you're scared of joking around a bit.

One does not become a historian straight out of high school, and the military isn't the only way tod evelop discipline, in fact for most people it isn't the best way either. I'm not referring to mid to senior level officers who hold graduate degrees, I'm referring to the common rank and file...

Blue US Army evening  dress (mess dress, I guess) with tiara, 1952, from http://www.army.mil/symbols/uniforms/timeline.html I think it looks quite nice, the coat and blouse looks better than the waiter's jacket used today. Bring it back with a jewled tiara with unit insignia, and of course a...

Not at all. Indiana Jones' s quote applies equally to history as well as archeology; 99% of it is done in the library, and all in all it isn't all that exciting.  A person's individual experience is just that: personal, it might help in some cases but it isn't any more or less relevent than the...

Mmmm, is there ANY problem in the country that can't be solved with 4 battalions of Leopard 2s (we'll bring bach 8CH too) and an automatic rifle in every house? I think not. TCBF should run for PM on that platform, I'd vote for him.

You're talking about the Wasp Class LHD USS Essex, and not the Essex Class CVs that were build in 1942, right?

More importantly,  where you managed to find a Vicker's gun to need a sling for it?

What is this obsession with the T-90? You guys do realize that the top of the line Russian MBT is the T-80UM right? The T-90 is a beefed up T-72 that's offered as a lower tech, cheaper export, the designation makes it more attractive to less knowledgable dictators. I'm not sure if they are a...

Let me just clarify here. Most life insurance policies will not pay out if the insured is killed in an act of war. Whether one is in the CF or not has no bearing on the matter. Same thing with property insurance.

I've already debunked the "Aznar effect" in previous posts, I am also one of those liberals who blame 9/11 on Bush. If it were not for Bush's willful suspension of intelligence activity against Al Qaeda, his determination to regulate Islamic Terror to a sideline issue, the woeful state of...

Yeah, the old "ask someone who's actually IN Iran" trick. Those snobby anti-semitic Ivory Tower Liberals, I tell you. What's an honest man to believe? Of course, now I'm the one "coming to Iran's defence". Well, I might as well put on the arm band and moustache and start goose-stepping to "I...

Ok Mr. Recce God.....can you see it now? :)

The article in canada.com has been <a href=http://www.canada.com/topics/news/national/story.html?id=9070ec32-f409-4161-9e96-7bae0436ccc3&k=66789>replaced</a>

I know it's hard for you conservatives, but you guys really need to rein in your blind trust of the <a href=http://www.940news.com/locale.php?news=2512>media</a>. How about waiting for an actual primary source from Iran or the Iranian goverment?

I can tell Wesley really misses the cool, comfortable winters in Dundurn or Wainwright or Shilo.....

They don't take polish very well. Don't feel very durable either. Basically a runing shoe with high ankles. Quite comfortable, mine are issued, I wouldn't buy them with my own money.

Your list wikipedia as one of your sources? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gum_arabic

Why is this cold weather requirement such a huge deal? It gets cold in the US too, America isn't a tropical country. It's not like we're buying stuff from Paupa New Guinea or Cuba. Besides, we're only going to be deploying in warm climates anyway. Who on earth would want to go somewhere cold...

There are definitely chances for risk-taking, with the corresponding rewards. Think Enron.  :) Well, the generally accepted measure of risk is the probability of of an unfavourable event occuring. How many supply techs(and I understand that it is a purple trade, so including air force...
