some guys have $300 dollar "fighting knives" that they have no idea how to employ. Some have $20 dollar pocket knives because they don't want to lose or break a  $300 dollar "fighting knife" that they have no idea how to employ. Some don't even have the common sense to carry the issued Gerber...

okay. Both sides are firmly entrenched. Both sides are lobbing arty. Nobody has, or will convince the other to capitulate. I think everyone's thoughts are pretty clear. Further "debate" now will simply be "Is not," "Is so." What say we just shut this down until final results are in?

Personally, I am most comfortable with the "Let's you and him fight" system of unarmed combat. I have mastered the 6th Animal form of Shaolin: the Turtle. Now, after reading subfighter's thread again, I owe him an apology. His post was rather informative, and more in the nature of promoting...

but the obsession with weight and appearance as opposed to health and performance is why we have male children killing themselves with the abuse of steroids and thermogenics (he said, attempting to tie this back into the thread), and female children starving themselves to death. Vanity and...

I believe that is his enlistment date. Or the date he leaves the CIC to become an NCO.

there you go: you say "fat" and then "weight". They are not necessarily related. Which is why the BMI was scrapped a long time ago. I weigh around 215 - 220. I have a 32 - 34 inch waist. So, I ain't fat, but I weigh quite a bit. UNRELATED.

never mind. Nothing to see here. I'm a dumbass.

this thread is starting to make me leery with it's focus on that most ridiculous of yardsticks: weight. Weight is immaterial to fitness. I do NOT want to read about daily sitreps on how many pounds someone has shed, or whether one has a six-pack abs, or any other vanity-induced crap. If it...

that sets my mind at ease. The idea of being led by someone who didn't believe that Democracy is "the way to go" scared the hell out of me. It's all well and good for the rank and file to be thuggish in mentality, but when the Leadership gets that way... I didn't question your profession. Or...

title is inaccurate: Support for Afghan mission continues to decline...Amongst Canadian Media

if that is truly your thoughts, perhaps you should give serious thought to changing professions. Democracy is the best system existant today, and has proven itself throughout history as being the best. Athens v Sparta England vs the World the Allies vs the Axis Democratic nations have always...

ditto.

slam! Dunk.

really tasty with cheese and peppers and some ham.

but...but...I only joined for the college money! Scum.

on a serious note, you should give some thought to adding to your own martial arts repertoire. By that I mean, you should look into adding grappling skills, ie judo, jujutsu, or (especially) wrestling. Also, I encourage everyone to do some boxing. Karate is fine for a base (my first style was...

traumatic effects of dealing with the media, then?  ;D Sorry. Couldn't help it. I don't know that one really has to do much psych prep prior to a deployment, but the adjustment when back on Terra Canadiana can be enormous.

+1. Althuogh it isn't EXACTLY as he speaks. He didn't cuss once in any post yet!

that's a good thing. The old web gear is 100 times better than the POS Tac Vest. Back on track, I say we can't afford it, either. Put some Commissionaires on it, with reliable comms to the LEO, and have them swing by regularly. Didn't we have this discussion when pussnuts pissed on the thing?

dang Commies! As long as the West realizes that China is an enemy, and can never be trusted to act except in their own interests, I say let 'em go! Let them try to stabilize Africa, while we work on the Middle East. It's gonna take us both centuries, anyway. Maybe it'll help keep the sneaky...
