    VAdm Norman - Supply Ship contract: Legal fight

    Well, they are not calling you "Federal Welfare".  They are not denying you a mortgage because you are in the army can't be trusted to pay a mortgage or making you pay a premium on a loan because of your military rank.  They are not barring you from their town because army guys are all...

    Op IMPACT: CAF in the Iraq & Syria crisis

    Because the army and the navy decide to use their S/LDA envelopes that way.  The air force decides to do it the other way.  Got look after the troops, right?

    Canadian Budget 2017

    The only thing that treaty will do is increase the cost of firearms and weapons systems to end user.  If ISIS wants a gun, ISIS will get a gun regardless of where in the world ISIS is.  Marking "made in Canada" as a means of keeping firearms away from rogue orgs is as bright as registering guns...

    Afghan Interpreters, Others Fast-tracking to Canada

    Likely than a one third of Canadians as well but neither blue team nor red team has carried through on a national promise. Orange team doesn't care just like the majority of Canadians.  There was a 1000s of Vietnamese who stood in front of the gates of their US embassy watching the last chopper...

    CAN Enhanced (Permanent?) Fwd Presence in Latvia

    its a political show, there is no intent to make a defense of it or even to reply right away if the balloon goes up, just a NATO national sized pinky swear.  Russia says "I want Latvia but I got to shoot up Yanks, Canucks, and Poles, do I want that?"  Pinky swear.

    POW Training 1980s

    Anyone seen this?  I never really thought about this as anything more than a training simulation. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canadian-soldiers-prisoner-war-training-wainwright-alberta-1.4053351 I have been hog tied and left laying in a mud puddle, laid on the floor of Grizzly, handcuffed...

    Ex Soldier Evicted While Waiting For Pension and Benifits

    You are not missing anything but suing the government is a costly thing.  Their lawyers are paid full time whether they actually do anything or not and they got a lot of them stacked up waiting to run you over in court.  Hers would quickly drain any settlement she got.  We tolerate because we...

    Former Canadian Soldier Wants to be a Reservist despite PTSD

    Leaving aside employment suitability, whose budget does that come under?  During my armouries day, some units would shut down in January until April because the money was not there to train.  I doubt it has changed much and I doubt the reserve units and garrisons are flush with cash.

    Ex Soldier Evicted While Waiting For Pension and Benifits

    Actually, this was an interesting bump for me because I went to the media when this happened to me two years ago and I was in month 8 of no benefits or pension.  I know of at least two others who did, none of us got a bite out of the media.  So seeing this story originally last month was a WTF...

    Slow Erosion of Military History

    It was a different time, death was treated differently and there was less expectation of loved ones coming home after going far away.  It was normal for people to go out into the world and never come back as travel was expensive and laborious. Vietnam was the first war where the dead were...
