Did anyone else notice the $2000-$3000 fine paid in monthly installments of $250!? Someone who looks almost exactly like me paid a fine of that size for a much less serious offence and I he didn't get no GD monthly payments!! This is weak. The MCpl should have had several books thrown at him. MG

I have to back up what Matt's saying. I bought my SKYDEX helmet kit from CPGear and I haven't looked back since. No need for the suspension system and its well worth the money. MG

This is getting comical! I have posted several times refuting key parts of your arguments but you simply refuse to acknowledge my arguments. I suspect that that has something to do with the fact that I speak from experience, having been an advisor to Karzai's government and tend to back my...

Just saw this. This is what I'm talking about. Don't open your grocery hole unless you have a good understanding of the topic at hand! In the end you look like a fool and will just p1ss people off. Your veneer thin knowledge of this topic, no doubt based heavily on stereotypes and third-hand...

NIMN, You're back-pedaling hard here. You can deny all you want but everyone who has read these posts of yours has seen the following: Etc., etc. I have read all your posts and I have no doubt in my mind that, despite your exhortations to the contrary, you really do think yourself superior...

You know, one thing I've always thought funny about people like Not In My Name and Valcartier2007 is that they are essentially scared and ignorant, just like the rest of us. I agree that the bulk of society is wilfully ignorant and even zombie-like - hell look at voter turnout in Canada or our...

This is a fascinating debate and one I wish I had seen earlier! I think it's very impressive that Valcartier2007 has shown such courage and idealism in coming here to debate this topic and I have to admit that I respect the way he/she/they has been maintaining a civil tone. That being said, I...

Wow. 23 years of experience according to your profile and yet you seem unaware of the "plans for the Griffon". I suggest you get on the DIN, visit the new CFAWC web pages and look at the plans for the Griffin. Or there's always DAR's website which has some info on Griffon plans. Or better yet...

Yeah, I was there. Not sure if we were there for a hockey pep rally, a Bush-esque political speech, or a somewhat un-Canadian self-congratulation session. Showing support for the troops is great but I am a big fan of stoic Canadian understatement. American-style 'hooray for us' pretentions...

Good point! Didn't sound like him.

Was he serving or recently retired? I ask because the previous Comd of Op ARGUS has been on a bit of a media tour lately. Could his name have been Col Capstick? MG

Who was the Col? (Sorry, no TV). MG

Bob, Been there, done that. I was too cynical for those jobs and was asked to leave because I kept yelling "bullshyte!!" in meetings. 8) MG

Wow, great debate! I go away on the Combat Team Commander's Course and miss all this good stuff! George, I have to say that your method of debating here is getting a little old. Instead of slamming RecceDG and others for 'not knowing anything' or 'talking out of their lane', why don't you just...

You know, it's funny how you and George use words like "hogwash" and that you two have cornered the market on "reality" and "logic". I am an RCR officer. I wrote an article on this very topic and you would be absolutely stunned at the number of Officers and Senior NCOs who agree with what I...

Got it! It's a GAZ-74. Also known as a SU-57b. Thanks for the hints. MG

The bottling plant shut down very shortly after it was handed over due (in my guess) to some pretty extreme incompetence in the MoD. The camp is still there but it was empty when I left in August of last year. As for there not being enough water in Kabul: BS!!! Maybe the people there will have...

SU-76i on a captured German chassis? MG

WARNING - Following comments are not in my lane by G2G can correct me if I'm Ray Oliver The Griffon fleet will stay steady at about 64 airframes in 1 Wing although there is talk of configuring the remaining a/c as I-BRUH or Interim Battlefield Reconnaissance and Utility Helicopter (IIRC). They...

406mm SM-54 Kondesator 2P? MG
