...and the US woodland camo hats are still in use (though apparently being replaced by ill-fitting Cadpat ones - are they making the hats for 6 year olds?)

About the Victoria Cross peace...didn't the journalist get it wrong? Were't two given to paras during the Falklands war?

I'd imagine it could carry more supplies, has a longer range, can carry more (and is less restricted by) exterior armarmants or sensors, things like that. Not to mention a larger helicopter could fit larger engines. (or an extra one in the case of the EH-101)  Perhaps Inch could give a better...

Are you all in this for the recognition or the "support" from the populace? F*** them, I bet all civil servants (like cops/mailmen/maintance crews) could complain equally, and have their own sets of problems.

Try applying to CSIS.

what about subs? isn't patrolling the arctic one of their primary roles?

The Liberals sent flags too. Why are quebec separatists tolerated? Private groups aren't allowed to train militariily because it's a threat to national security - isn't separatism? I know that that's oversimplifying the problem, but the quebec "issue" has gone on for long enough.

Go France

I think the problem with that is that the Griffin's poweplant is not sufficient to mount both sufficient armour (which I'm assuming is a necessity in that role) and weapons systems. Best get a pilot to clarify though. I think they would have tried that were it a possibility - wasn't there talk...

People's lives change. While one's desire to join the forces may be strong for months, life goes on, independently. For instance, were I to get into the forces right now i would have to cut my hours back at work and drop a uni class of mine on thursday nights. I knew when I took the extra shifts...

Use device manager. When XP is looking for drivers, point them towards the CD.

Keep in mind that Canwest Global is considered a "conservative" voice. Were a more centre-left organization, such as CTV or CBC, to reach that conclusion, the results might hold more sway. I don't doubt the results, but results alone are nothing without bulletproof legitimacy. That and the...

While not the Australian version of the VC (Victoria Cross for Australia, 1991) there is a version of the victoria cross that is unique to Canada; instead of "for valour" it says "pro valore" which is simply the latin translation. To the best of my knowledge, none have been awarded, yet.

Would it be at all likely that North Korea could seek to "unify" with China, rather than the south?

The league is losing money. The NHL needs to adjust salaries and finances to meet the reality of their situation (They've been losing money each season, millions, for several years now). The players want to keep their salaries, averaging 1.8 million a pop. NHL says no. Players say NHL is just...

Education might not be the answer though...two days ago, I was in a class with third year university students many of whom were saying that they could see why the Chechen militants murdered over 300 people and that the "terrorists" (yes, they used the dit-dit fingers - as if there was any...
