if you keep polishing after the polish has been worked out of the cloth it‘s sort of the same as buffing. the only difference is that with buffing, you tend to get streaks. they‘re not too bad but they take away from the shine. keep polishing in circles, if it feels like there‘s a lot of...

i think that most people are smart enough to differentiate between the military and war. i was training with my reserve unit on the weekend at the above mentioned vandalized armouries, and there was a peace protest being organized next door. sentries were posted to ward off further vandalizing...

i have to agree with Yard Ape, the likelyhood of one of the jump companies being deployed on its own and needing engineer support sounds pretty unlikely. but in the case of the CAR being revived in any capacity, it would definately require an Airborne engineer unit attached, and now that mortars...

should the Boer War be included as a Canadian victory? our participation was the same as WWI/WW2: proportionally smaller contingent under British command.

what about ‘Eat Your Weakest Man‘? i‘ve heard about it, but never got around to reading it, is it any good?
