In that part of the world, saying that both Israeli and American interests are legitimate targets isn't quite a stretch. The threat from Palestinians however is one of logistics; Israel is a much easier target to strike. For instance, not too long ago, 3 American diplomats were targeted and...

It's easy to say that the Iraqi citizens had a responsibility to overthrow Hussein, but that just isn't so. It's easy to point out instances such as the French and American revolutions as instances where the populace threw out an unpopular leader (or established such things as the Magna Carta)...

http://sympaticomsn.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1092272960225_36?hub=Canada Paul Champagne, an Ottawa man who claims his wealth comes from the stock market, is being sued by the federal government and Hewlett-Packard. They allege the former Department of National Defence employee...

Seeing as how CF-5's were once a front line fighter (a poor one apparently) and not specifically designed as a trainer would probably mean higher maintainance requirements than something like a Tudor or Hawk. Given their age and uselessness these days, spare parts would be hard to come by, not...

It's a good game, puts my radeon through it's paces. still, doing it in real life will be more fun.

True. The guys on this site know what they are talking about. Now I rarely extrapolate any points I have in fear that infanteer will come and blow it all to pieces and crush my gentle soul. bastard. :) I'm gonna fade back into the background now.

Would it be more cowardly to run from a draft because you don't believe you could do the job, or because you have an anal cyst? http://www.snopes.com/military/limbaugh.htm ...while we're talking about vietnam.

Could the technology behind the Squall torpedo be used in submarines or warships?

I'd imagine I was stopped because I was applying for the reserves, not the reg force. I was told at my aptitude test that those of us gunning for the reserves already had a conditional offer of enrollment, unlike our reg-force-wannabe-counterparts. It was kind of disappointing though, I'd spent...

"Conservative Liberal Government" was kinda vague, I guess. How about "right-wing-Liberals"? While paying somebody $19 to change bedsheets is quite excessive, I don't think Campbell has taken under consideration the fact that with lower wages come higher turnover, and in a hospital setting...

Yes, Mulroney, who left the country hugely in debt which resulted in the following Liberal government having to make huge sacrifices in order to prevent the country from going into an economic tailspin. ...and they say conservatives are fiscally responsible. Bull****! It kind of reminds me of...

This is a little off topic, but I thought I read somewhere that CSIS was prepared to pay a couple million for blueprints of the shkval torpedo. What happened to that idea?

No. At least not when I did it. They make you do as many as you can, counting only proper form, and stop you when you reach the minimum (I was stopped at 19) or can't do any more. Also, I did it after I had done the step test, and I found the pushups SIGNIFICANTLY more strenuous than usual...

Let's not forget the extremely important role played by the native peoples - the original canadians.

A more legitimate concern over the terror-rating system is the danger that people will become indifferent to it. I mean, what is the difference between orange and yellow? Does anyone care anymore? Like the fire warnings here in BC - what is the difference between 'high' and 'extreme'? Should you...

Do you live in Nanaimo? I was working in the mall on Sunday and the place was flooded with them. Some of them seemed quite old, so I had them pinned as air cadets.

They participated in the operations, but never closed with the enemy.

It would take 7 years for a DEO applicant anyway. DEO's have to have a degree. Degrees usually take 4 years. Add 3 years to get wings, and there you go.

Don't shun the recommendation to apply now. I had that advice given to me last september, but I thought it would be best if I waited until I was in shape (and had gained about 20 pounds). Result? - I ended up missing the Summer 2004 basic training, and now am most likely going to do it on the...

You can give some of that weight to me. 6'2 175lbs :( I initially had problems with running as well. What you might want to try is increasing the size of your leg muscles through things like leg presses and whatnot. When the size of your leg muscles isn't a problem, the next problem is just...
