Thanks ER Campbell, I think that's it. Never have my books when I need em! ...If that thing flies...it would be the Shriner Car of the air. nice! I shy away from matters of appearance, because when that's all there is, you can't back it up, that said; how much worse, really is a...

Bam! that'd be my problem. I never invested in spies, couldn't figure em out. Did the old; make WWII Canada a superpower schtick.

+1 Sadly, the kind of moral welfare advocated in the article is way too popular in our world. I think a part of the issue is perspective. Again; agree with the above that we need fighters and 65 is not enough. So I pose the question, in which sphere of influence do canadian defence spending...

I enjoyed the game, but playing Canada, damned if I could figure out how to go to war with anyone besides the axis powers. I was more interested in a free-for-all. Bummer they crapped out on the tech tree and made it so generic after a while.

http://www.everyjoe.com/2014/07/07/politics/body-armor-doesnt-always-make-sense-for-our-soldiers/ Interesting points, I agree with most of them, but I can't see this kind of thinking ever getting anywhere in the CF. What do you guys think?

http://www.everyjoe.com/2014/07/14/politics/military-problems-will-not-get-better/ Well, I need as not have created this thread at all. This article crystalizes the situation in my mind. Your thoughts?

Let's hope cooler heads prevail and the next administration is wiser than this one and the rot stops. Bad enough we signed the stupid fucking treaty. Damn all the progressive bleeding hearts that tie our hands.

I'm sure that the OPPA, have enough legal separation to allow them to legally do whatever they want politically. A very useful bit of legal deception, I am sure. Not unlike the Association of Canadian Police Chiefs, a liberal mouth piece eagre to speak out in favour of the gun control most...

Hey, nice reducto ad absurdium Dimsum. It's war, not a duel. You people need to stop trying to score more snark points with your pals and maybe try to engage this intelligently. And when did I ever say "autonomous?" Oh, I said "terminator" as in; "*NOT* terminator-bad", but I see how you all...

Well, I like to really bring it down to earth for people with sunny and incorrect views of human nature, distracted by new toys. Funny thing is, historically, new weapons change very little in warfare. As Patton noted; a weapon is at the zenith of it's effectiveness on the enemy, when it is at...

I suspect anyone who can watch thousands slaughtered, helplessly and still has an issue with personal firearms ownership.

If you won't loose anyone when you fight, why not go to war all the time? We already live in a video game world. We already feel nothing as a people when we go to war. No rationing, no conscription, only the families of the dead and wounded and those actually at the sharp end notice anything...

Just got this sent to me. Can't find it online, but basically personal or foriegn hand grips, slings, scopes and other accessories are now forbidden. Also we can't paint our weapons unless they're sniper rifles. Okay, fine, sure, it's the law, we'll enforce it. I'm not sure any of this, besides...

Oh sure, I just bet they're willing to chop into their own social justice warrior projects to pay for this little adventure too, eh?

Guys, it's not fair to make me wish I wasn't in school with all this cool shit to read on a day I have to spend 6 hours in class.

Can you give some positive examples of internally-driven change in the CF?

So...bureaucratic resistance can always defeat anything that has to be processed via meetings? Recent point brought home during some makeup training I conducted; It's unlawful for CF pers to get together to arrange(conspire) a change in regulations; this is in reference to unions...but the way...

Do you feel that real, significant, positive change from within an organization is impossible? I increasingly find from my observations that the only way to change an organization is by external forces. Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will...

Gods, more proof never to buy into US weapons programs... Wuh? time for one of these again? Oh yes, of course, we DID just cancel the last one! Shit! Aren't we due LET ANOTHER expensive circle-jerk "replacement" for the M16/M4? It's been...4 years(?), since the last one got canned?
