Who cares about exciting, if its their job they should do it. I doubt supply techs are overly excited to count stock but alas, its a role that is important.

In open terrain a troop of 4 tanks has a frontage of around 1 - 1.5 km so they can mutually support each other. Its not really a useful thing to define beyond that because ground is almost never open to the point you can get anything more than a squadron in a neat formation with consistent...

Why not walk and chew bubblegum? Im sure in the decade give or take it would take to procure these aircraft and in the following 10 years to reach FOC we can train a couple of squadrons worth of pilots and techs, especially with the force growth effort coming down the pipe. (Not that I really...

Im looking at it as a cost thing. There isnt infinite money for the RCAF and Gen 6 seems to be shaping up to make F35 look like a Camry. Seems like a lot of money to spend most of the time presence patrolling and having something attritable amd replaceable in Canada in a war might be good to...

My Crosstrek Outdoor was made in Japan, its a fantastic car. Certainly better than the American and Canadian made cars Ive had in the past haha.

So in a perfect world assuming we adequately fund both the infrastructure and training of new techs, would it be a bad thing to operate two fleets? Say 65 F35s for high precision stuff mixed with 65 Gripens doing the grunt work like presence patrolling (or whatever the aerial term is for that...

One thing Altair brought up I agree with is the possibility of Washington spreading political discord in Canada being oir biggest threat atm. It was exposed as happening in Greenland. Its no coincidence the Alberta seppies have American backing and have met with Republican officials. Theyre...

Anyone have any idea when the new threads will drop?

Frankly its troubling to the bargaining rights of all Canadians. Its not a precedent we should have seen used for something like a labour dispute. I wouldnt be shocked at mass walkouts across multiple industries.

Agreed again, I have my opinions of the Westboro Baptist Church but at the end of the day theyre inbred hicks from some podunk town trying to get a rise by doing awful shit. They get close to the line but dont seem to cross it into legitimate hate speech. They're saying that death was deserved...

In the newest crazy shit to come out of the White House social media - unlicenced HALO:CE x ICE posters! For those of the more baby boomerish persuasion here that may not be familiar with the HALO games, the Flood is a parasitic hivemind, much like the Borg. Thats a neat thing to compare...

I agree it is. I find it distasteful but I would defend someone's right to do so as long as it doesnt risk a larger fire.

Seems like a valid expression of free speech to me.

That is some evil shit by the US government right there. They have money for a bloody ballroom, but can't keep up the poor afloat with food they rely on.

What a ridiculous strawman argument.

Problem being that apparently Trump could (would) just veto the release of the files.

Foreign influence at best. There was nothing untruthful or covert about the ad campaign. Interference implies a covert angle and malice.

Brutal. Its such an easy win to buy trucks. Its a scandal that its taken this long and those responsible should be held accountable. If we cant even buy trucks in a decade + for the regs and reserves, how can we trust these people to buy advanced armament and equipment?

Literally anything that runs for a training year or two is better than the situation most units are in now...glorified golf carts with no comms, gunnery or cross country capability.

This one kills me. This project lagging the way it has is absolutely raking the reserves over the coals. Most of our rusted out vehicle fleet (milvsrado and LUVW) is to be replaced by this but it has been lagging for years and Ive never been able to pin down a reason why DLR is taking so long.
