    Yeah, I read it. I stand by what I said. And that article is a tad...slanted. Conflating criminal illegal aliens with immigrants is a key indicator.

    Fascism: A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. Regulating immigration doesn't make one...

    Reconstitution

    Because physical fitness is a job requirement for the CAF. As stated, class A ought to (in my opinion) get gratis Gym Memberships if a CAF fitness facility is not nearby. Also, civilians cannot be ordered into harm's way, in peace or in war. For those who don't like this, I do note that the...

    Reconstitution

    Agreed. All I can say that in my unit, there are 2 x PT slots/day. One from 0800 - 0930, the other from 1430 - 1600. Pick one. 100% agree! Gym Membership ought to be covered. It's a minor expense for such an important investment.

    Is Infantry a Waste of Time During Peacetime?

    To be honest, sitting around with your mates, as you wait for the next great thing (whatever that is; you're told to wait. A lot.) In spite of my snark, infantry really is a great vocation. Suffering through adverse weather and other conditions with your friends really is something that binds us.

    I cannot argue against that, that's for sure.

    Oh, I'm certain there is airbrushing involved!

    Is Infantry a Waste of Time During Peacetime?

    The first time I saw someone drop with hypothermia was in July in Petawawa. The soldiers had just gone through some pretty gross swamps and this guy just dropped and did the funky chicken. Fun times. (Not)

    She shouldn't have to. Unit COs and Formation Commanders ought to do this already. (My Formation Commander already has, as an example).

    I'm not sure he was second-guessing anyone, to be honest. Agreed. That said, DJT is one to wear his heart on his sleeve. Yes, and this time around, of note is the subtle shift in the US: FLOTUS and her kids, etc, all wore designer stuff made specifically for the occasion.

    American Airlines crash at Reagan international 29 Jan 2025

    One point I failed to mention: UH 60s were designed to be difficult to see. :/

    Is Infantry a Waste of Time During Peacetime?

    It's not fun. See what I said above. Don't join the infantry, whatever you do.

    Go ahead and take a fat body as a leader and put your life in danger all you want. As for me being toxic, perhaps I am. Perhaps I'm not. Perhaps I clearly do not give a flying fuck what you think. At least one of those "perhaps" statements is true. You can decide for yourself. As for me, I...

    "This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented." Perfectly reasonable thing to say.

    American Airlines crash at Reagan international 29 Jan 2025

    There is so much light pollution there, it would be easy to miss that UH 60 amongst the clutter of DC off to the jet's right. And during landing, I'm sure the pilot and crew are focused on plenty of things, and not checking left and right for possible collisions. And no, not all investigators...

    I can only speak for myself after seeing the video: that's exactly what I was thinking.

    Now everyone is an expert on what a President is supposed to be like. Guess what, POTUS 45/47 is unlike any other. And frankly, it's a breath of fresh air, especially after that last guy
