Obviously another dinosaur with an extra side of crust doing the talking! Soldiers of all ranks have been caught with urine tests, and the better part of a platoon of Vandoos was caught last year - this is not an exclusively "New Guy" phenomenon, and perpetuating the myth that drugs are only...

He was not a "symbol" or any other eloquent descriptive term. He attempted to run through an ISAF/NATO cordon and paid with his life - nothing more, nothing less. The threat of suicide bombers is extreme right now, and the enemy is well known for their penchant to probe our defences with hapless...

Exactly. Soldiers have always been legitimate military targets for other militaries (I'll stick with the GC definition which requires the open carrying of arms, identifying dress and adherence to the rules of war, which WE follow) but these terrorists hardly qualify as a military by any...

Ahh yes, Casca, the eternal soldier - one of my favorite series - even if it was written in the time of the dinosaurs!

Doubtful, but you will set a higher standard for something you already excel at - sucking! (oh snap!)  :D

So why don't you agree to disagree with yourself?  ::)

More like a sepia print of him in wool uniform and puttees, Ross Rifle on the ground next to him, his horse eating oats behind him, and he writing his name with the guidon pole in this strange new invention called "poured concrete" which unbelievably  (at the time) was to replace cobblestone. :)

You're right, we're all a bunch of ignorant, reactionary, extreme right wing idiots for being so stupid as to disagree with you. If you're really all that upset about it, www.rabble.ca has many more like minded individuals with thought processes more geared towards your end of the spectrum.

Nope, there's no way to get you in this way either Sgt, like I said, you either lube up or we have to install a larger hatch.

Either way, RICE is the answer for 5-8 days. Rest, Ice Compression and Elevation in case you did'nt know.

True story - that man should be duck walking around the building in marching order carrying that barrack box above his head.

I honestly don't think you know many natives or have ever lived on a reserve. Not every native was in a residential school, and not every person that went to one was abused. How long can you use generational wrongs to justify current ones? Millions of Jews have been persecuted the world over for...

Not nearly as much as it irritates me to be referred to as an "infantryperson"  ;)

With First Nations groups, it is always about money. They say that they are "guardians of the land" but in reality, all they want is to be the ones that make the most money from whatever project is in the works (hydro,oil,gold,diamonds,timber,fish etc.) Look at the last round of stupidity in...

I think that most of the voting of the CF can be split along the geographical lines of their residence. Here in the west, I find it hard to believe that any members of my unit voted Lieberal, but after working with several units from the east, I believe that they would be conservative. There is...

The A2 is notorious for dropping mags with both left and right handed soldiers, as well as the garbage cocking handle, which breaks and catches on everything. Interestingly, I've heard, but never seen or searched for, the "lefty M16" which is just an upper reciever with an ejection port cover...

Hey, not even the MPs feel the need to wear a red identifying armband and gruffly demand "papers" whenever I see them!  ;D

....and the whole thing is videotaped. :)

xmarx, Still too many holes in this one for me. I don't know too many dumb engineers, and most of what Arar did was just plain dumb, and extremely suspicious in the post 9/11 context. You sell him alternately as a hapless immigrant who happened to associate with the wrong people, and a...

This is crap! All the guv'mint auctions out here have are rusted out Ilti (plural of Iltis)!
