    Capt. Robert Semrau Charged With Murder in Afghanistan

    Good post. I have thought about that morphine scenario and wondered, what would have happened if the shot Taleb had been taken back to field hospital, and assessed by medical staff as a lost cause, and proceeded subsequently to give him a higher than required dose of morphine to alleviate his...

    Capt. Robert Semrau Charged With Murder in Afghanistan

    And, as a corollary, our code of conduct, which is the reason why, again, he was dismissed.

    QC Women's Group Takes Cheap Shot @ Moms of Fallen

    I just sent them the following. I know it`s in French, but I thought some of you might enjoy anyway. As I said, I think thei rposition is naive, insulting and divisive. Not to mention slightly nuts.

    How much do you pay for mess dues?

    Unless the mess decides to reduce expenses by cutting a bartender or otherwise increase revenues. As for living far from the unit, I'm sure many will offer to take your turn as they understand driving home at 12:00 ain't fun. If no one else does, I'll fill in for ya.

    What's the point of vague terrorism warnings for those abroad?

    I've deleted my post. Not worth it really.

    langue des régiments

    Anglo uniquement et à ta deuxième question je dirais oui. Par contre, ils ont souvent des gens bilingues. La meilleure chose à faire est d'aller les voir et de leur demander. Bonne chance!

    Capt. Robert Semrau Charged With Murder in Afghanistan

    Note that Bruce`s post comes from the Toronto Sun... just a note :) Michael, excellent post. To me, the issue is one of morality versus law. Then Capt Semrau made the decision that was moral but illegal - I speak in such affirmative words because I accept the findings of the court. Even if I...

    Forced to pay / belong to a mess [Merged]

    Completely agree! Mess dinners are fun and a great way to learn to know those peers you may not know. I personnally believe that esprit de corps is one of the things that sets us apart from the civvy street and that it should be promoted. As a Naval Officer, it seems to me that if you are...

    Forced to pay / belong to a mess [Merged]

    Are you Reg Force or Reserves? If you are Reserves, most units will give you a class A day, not to cover the price, but because it is a parade. If you are Regs, see R. v. Master Seaman R.J. Middlemiss, 2009 CM 1001 , at this link: http://www.jmc-cmj.forces.gc.ca/dec/2009-eng.asp He got a...

    On the fence

    Others may disagree. In my experience, the CF values integrity, courage and hard work. Go to your Chain of Command, be forthcoming with them. Say that you have an addiction, that you don't like it, that you want to work on it to be a better soldier and a better person. MOST soldiers and...

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    Well, seriously... 1.7 years (what does that even mean anyway??? 1 year 8 months???) is still a long time. For DEO`s, this still looks like 4-5 yrs if not more to Wings-time for me. That is a LONG time.

    Habs too English, PQ leader says

    Not that I approve of the PQ`s rubbish comments (far from it), but it is not a federal party, PMedMoe. So not too many worries here :)
