    Submarines about to become OBSOLETE? (article)

    As a though to support what you're saying; consider what we would have to do and how much it would cost if for some reason, we ever had to suppress, neutralize, invade and destroy, in that order a heavily and intelligently fortified small island for some reason.

    Metro Toronto population above 6M, Montreal at 4M - National Post

    it's not working well enough. The sheep will still want to live there, even if we make their votes count less and that's what we should do; reduce by a fraction as the size of your city gets bigger.

    The Cdn Army does not need HMGs (From: CANSOF vs. Boko Haram)

    They have one now, it weighs a little more than a GPMG, but the ammo is twice as heavy. It's not quite the same round as .338LM either. They really re-invented the wheel on this one; the LWMMG. I would have just gone with the Swedish 8x63mm round, since it had already been around forever and...

    Metro Toronto population above 6M, Montreal at 4M - National Post

    The real question is; how do we hobble their votes so that Toronto and Montreal don`t decide who are governments are?

    The Cdn Army does not need HMGs (From: CANSOF vs. Boko Haram)

    $6.47 as of one of my troops loosing one and three hours and 40 candidates being unable to find it, this summer. At heart the issue is that none of us; people who use the damn weapons and understand them make the call. It's made and approved by people who neither use, nor understand weapons, in...

    Ukraine restarts program to develop IFV from T-64 tank

    I know they've been making and using support vehicles based on the T-64 for a while, but AFAIK they never did fix the automotive issues on the main battle tank, which is why the T-64 was never exported outside the former USSR.

    Boot cleaning / polishing / care of

    I'd keep using my current ones forever, except that the leather is cracking and I think too far gone for repair at this stage.

    Boot cleaning / polishing / care of

    Man you guys really love this subject. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO POSTED THEIR BOOT-SHINING METHODS. Just like anything else in the military; there is only one right way to do it and it varies everywhere you go and for everyone you work with, lol. Lots of good advice though. But THIS ^ up here...

    Boot cleaning / polishing / care of

    I am finally getting around to polishing up my new dress boots and oxfords. I'm three coats in on the oxfords and there yet seems to be some kind of waxy, filmy coating on them creating an appearance like soap film on "Clean" dishes. My boots look the same, but I haven't gotten to them yet. My...

    Man Who Waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Tells Story

    Well, even the big, bad SS insisted on some form of industrial execution of the jews and the rest of the supposed enemies of germany because forcing their men to do it in the field was destroying them as soldiers and human beings.

    Ontario Liberals paid $10,000 to have data erased: OPP

    They've always been their own worst enemy; it's like voting for Linus and then having him go into a rant about the great pumpkin just when things are looking good.

    Man Who Waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Tells Story

    The way I look at it torture is a form of training; you train them not to lie. Start with two guys and one fact you know, but they don't know you know. Keep the two in isolation from eachother. Ask X the question. Ask Y. Doesn't matter what they say; they need to be the same. When Y doesn't...

    Stress management when handling a gun

    agreed. I have noted this many times in review sessions with standards as well. despite teaching on more than 20 courses, they don't listen to me either. in the past I had time to do extras with showing the troops how firearms in general and the C7 in particular worked, but not anymore.

    Man Who Waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Tells Story

    Just hypothetically; Say that what was actually found was that "enhanced interrogation" works very, very well. Would that report *ever* see the light of day? I think not. I think what happened here was a lot of bad science; they started with a goal and made the results fit

    Ontario Liberals paid $10,000 to have data erased: OPP

    Currently the Ont Libs can get away with murder. It will take a credible, competent and modern conservative leader to supplant the liberals, *in concert* with massive and undeniable evidence of liberal failure and corruption IN THE MSM. It would also help if people could get Mike Harris out of...
